Hello,  
I am creating a new instance of a class file lets say Person

```auto
var p:Person = new Person();

```

and then i am customizing it…

```auto
p.height = 44;

```

etc

now I am making 10 or 20 persons in a for loop… but how can I clone ONE specific(3rd )of those  
I was thinking

```auto
if(i==3){
// create instance of the already customized one .. i seen this done before but i cant seem to find info on it.. something like var newp3:DisplayObject as Person()??? please help

}

```
