That wouldn't change what mxmlc would see from the command line in bash.
However, in the spirit of your suggestion, I’ve also tried:
'-define=CONFIG::GAME_NAME,"A Name With Spaces In It”'
and
"-define=CONFIG::GAME_NAME,'A Name With Spaces In It’"
There’s no difference in behaviour.
Keep in mind, it’s not even registering that CONFIG::AIR is set to true, nor is
it complaining about my command line format.
