Cloning array

programming flash
1

I have been trying for an hour to clone an array, It seems that nobody has a true reference on how to do it.

Two arrays - movieClipArray 1 and movieClipArray2

I want to duplicate movieClipArray1 entirely so that when I addChild(movieClipArray2[0]), it doesn’t take away from movieClipArray1 or reference it in any way.

I have tried the

movieClipArray2 = movieClipArray1.concat()

method as well as

public function cloness(source:Object):*
{
    var myBA:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
    myBA.writeObject(source);
    myBA.position = 0;
    return(myBA.readObject());
}

But using the concat method, it still references it for some reason, and using the other code I posted, I get back an object rather the exact duplicate of the array itself.

This is hurting my head :worried:

ty for any help:rd:
