Clone shape loaded from external swf file.

Question

How can be cloned shape loaded by Flex Action Script 3 from external swf ( authored in the Flash CS4 ) ?

Answer 1

Quite simple, there is NO WAY of cloning a Display Object

What you can do is find the class name that the object has and create the class anew to get the same shape.

This won't remember any properties, so if you want a true clone, you will need to do is extend that class so that it has that function, which will copy all the values one by one.
