Yesterday I was encounter a problem of storing a Object in another Object and making changes to that Object in ActionScript 1.0. Now what Flash do, it will create the reference of that Object and will not create a copy of that Object so if you make any changes to any of the property of first object it will also update second object automatically. Now to overcome this problem I have created a small piece of code to make the copy of Object rather than storing the reference of the Object. I hope it will help you too:- Code: Object.prototype.copy = function () { var prop, obj = new this.__proto__.constructor (); for (prop in this) { if (typeof this[prop] == "object") { obj[prop] = this[prop].copy (); } else { obj[prop] = this[prop]; } } return obj; }; Usage:
