There are more ways to do this:
(1) I originally added a writeByte() call, but it turns out that fWriter will
write 32-bits even if I only tell it to write a byte.  It really wants things in
32-bit packages, and I didn't want to mess with that.
(2) It's also possible to force a big endian write and a big endian read.  That
would work fine as well.

+            // string as a name, or we will have a problem.
+            SkASSERT(strcmp("", name));
+            this->writeString(name);
+
+            // Add key to dictionary
+            fFlattenableDict.set(key, fFlattenableDict.count() + 1);
+        }
     }
 
     // make room for the size of the flattened object
