Creates a duplicate of the source object by storing it in a ByteArray and reading it back in, The object will return untyped so you may need to cast it to the desired class. To ensure your object retains its type, you should register the class using flash.net.registerClassAlias() before cloning. AMF rules apply. Check out the documentation for more info. @example <listing version="3.0"> registerClassAlias("com.example.Example", Example); var example:Example = new Example(); var clone:Example = @ax-lib-flex-animation-code-10-org-as3lib-utils-Cloner.clone(example) as Example; </listing>
see: flash.net#registerClassAlias()
parameter: source - the object to duplicate.
returns: * - the duplicate of the source object.

  
          public static function clone(source:Object):* {
              var copy:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
              copy.writeObject(source);
              copy.position = 0;
              var clonedObject:* = copy.readObject();
              return clonedObject;
          }
      }
