Description:
This function takes 2 parameters: varList - a delimited list of variable names to load into a Flash movie and loadVar - the variable to append to the end of the string to tell Flash that all the variables are loaded. An optional delimiter can be passed as with any ListX() function.

Return Values:
Returns a Flash safe string.

Example:

<cfset var1="Sample Variable One">
<cfset var2="Sample Variable Two">
<cfset varList="var1,var2">
<cfoutput>#vars2Flash(varList,"datacomplete")#</cfoutput>
