Initialize theMonkey

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I wanna to propose the following patch.

It will allow me to add listeners to theMonkey. Like this:
FlexMonkey.theMonkey.addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, startUp);

I need that to run integration tests using flex-mojos.

theMonkey is a reference to the currently running FlexMonkey instance (ie, the
FlexMonkey window), so we can't just initialize theMonkey to an instance we 
create
statically.

But this will keep a unique instance, like it is done now.

Instead of creating the instance using PopupManager.createPopUp(), I initialize 
the
static theMonkey (which now is a const, so is not changeable).

Well, this was the way I found to made possible to add event listeners to 
theMonkey
