	/**
	 * 	The FileFilter class is used to indicate what files on the user's system
	 * 	are shown in the file-browsing dialog box that is displayed when the
	 * 	`FileReference.browse()` method, the `FileReferenceList.browse()` method
	 * 	is called or a browse method of a File, FileReference, or
	 * 	FileReferenceList object is called. FileFilter instances are passed as a
	 * 	value for the optional `typeFilter` parameter to the method. If you use a
	 * 	FileFilter instance, extensions and file types that aren't specified in
	 * 	the FileFilter instance are filtered out; that is, they are not available
	 * 	to the user for selection. If no FileFilter object is passed to the
	 * 	method, all files are shown in the dialog box.
	 * 	You can use FileFilter instances in one of two ways:
	 * 
	 * 	* A description with file extensions only
	 * 	* A description with file extensions and Macintosh file types
	 * 
	 * 	The two formats are not interchangeable within a single call to the browse
	 * 	method. You must use one or the other.
	 * 
	 * 	You can pass one or more FileFilter instances to the browse method, as
	 * 	shown in the following:
	 * 
	 * 	```haxe
	 * 	var imagesFilter = new FileFilter("Images", "*.jpg;*.gif;*.png");
	 * 	var docFilter = new FileFilter("Documents", "*.pdf;*.doc;*.txt");
	 * 	var myFileReference = new FileReference();
	 * 	myFileReference.browse([imagesFilter, docFilter]);
	 * 	```
	 * 
	 * 	Or in an OpenFL desktop application:
	 * 
	 * 	```haxe
	 * 	var imagesFilter = new FileFilter("Images", "*.jpg;*.gif;*.png");
	 * 	var docFilter = new FileFilter("Documents", "*.pdf;*.doc;*.txt");
	 * 	var myFile = new File();
	 * 	myFile.browseForOpen("Open", [imagesFilter, docFilter]);
	 * 	```
	 * 
	 * 	The list of extensions in the `FileFilter.extension` property is used to
	 * 	filter the files shown in the file browsing dialog. The list is not
	 * 	actually displayed in the dialog box; to display the file types for users,
	 * 	you must list the file types in the description string as well as in the
	 * 	extension list. The description string is displayed in the dialog box in
	 * 	Windows and Linux. (It is not used on the Macintosh<sup>®</sup>.) On the
	 * 	Macintosh, if you supply a list of Macintosh file types, that list is used
	 * 	to filter the files. If not, the list of file extensions is used.
	 *
