title: Clone an instance of a class (Display Object)
body: <p>I have a collection of movieclips, I would like to create a clone (a new instance) of a instance everytime I create a new object.</p>
  
  <p>For example</p>
  
  <pre><code>var s:Star = new Star(); // star-shaped movielcip
  addChild(s);
  // then I want to duplicate an instance of s and add it beside s
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For an example like above, it's simple enough to create a new instance with a different name and just add it to the display list. But I have a list of objects I would like to clone as a group...?</p>
