Also to make it more generic, you should also add this:

var qualifiedClassName : String = getQualifiedClassName( new TestScore() ).replace( “::”, “.” );
registerClassAlias( qualifiedClassName, getDefinitionByName( qualifiedClassName ) as Class );

Is is very generic but if you have typed objects inside the parent object, they will be null. So in order to overcome this, each object should have a custom clone method. For recursive cloning register all the other class aliases you have inside the parent object: registerClassAlias( "com.rozengain.cloning .MyClass2", getDefinitionByName( "com.rozengain.cloning .MyClass2" ) as Class ); registerClassAlias( "com.rozengain.cloning .MyClass3", getDefinitionByName( "com.rozengain.cloning .MyClass3" ) as Class ); it will work with Arrays of typed objects as well.

For example, I have a Flex4 group with some Graphic elements inside it, such as an How would I use this method to clone the ellipse graphic and add it as a child to the Group container that its source lives in? Thanks much. Hi there, I’m very new to Actionscript and Flex and was wondering how you would use this example to clone an element and then add it as a child to a container in Flex?

After cloning an instance of ClassA with the method above, I traced the qualifiedClassName of the clone's ClassB and ClassC properties. The traces successfully reported "com.x.y.z.ClassB" and "com.x.y.z.ClassC". At least in the case of this example it _seems_ like custom class properties of the cloned class object instance do retain their class identities. @kris, I tested this morning with ClassB and ClassC custom class properties of my ClassA custom class.
