Ok, I have an object, which I would like to copy into a new object. This new object would not be a pointer to the new object. I need it to be totally independent, yet identical to the first object.  
Example

```auto

var one:Object = new Object();

one.a = "a";

var two:Object = one;

trace(one.a);
// Returns "a"

two.a = "c"

trace(one.a);
// Returns "c"

```

If anyone understands my problem I’d very much like to know a way around it.  
Thanks
