I made an array copy() function, its recursive so it will handle multidemisional arrays. Hopefully it will be of use to someone.  
[AS]  
Array.prototype.copy = function() {  
newCopy = [];  
for(a = 0; a\<this.length; a++)  
if(this[a] instanceof Array) newCopy.push(this[a].copy())  
else newCopy.push(this[a])  
return newCopy;  
}
