/*A max interface to serialize track view nodes and controllers
Serializing a node/controller will return an xml formatted string representation of that object
That string can then be used to recreate that object

Controllers - The controller behaves as expected.  The given controller will be serialized and
deserialization will return a new instance of that controller

TrackViewNodes - These behave slightly differently.  You pass in node and all the subnodes/controllers
contained beneath that node are serialized. When deserilializing you need to pass in the parent
node you want all the subnodes/controllers to be inserted into.  This is because you cannot just create
free floating track view nodes to be inserted into the track view tree at a later time
