The context in which an object should be created.

This is used to solve using the embedded fonts in an application SWF when the framework is loaded as an RSL (the RSL has its own SWF context). Embedded fonts may only be accessed from the SWF file context in which they were created. By using the systemManager of the application SWF, the RSL can create objects in the application SWF context that will have access to the application's embedded fonts. moduleFactory will call create() to create an object in the context of the moduleFactory.

The default value is null.
