interesting you should say its the same in as3 jese. i take it you are aware
of peter halls post on this

however that does not work ala as2, since all private members are ignored.
(which leaves me to suspect that value objects is the only way to get
someting like openAMF to work properly using amf1 and as3)
but this is besides the point. in as2 the for each loop is your friend for
cloning objects, but then you also have to consider that some complex
members will not be cloned, but rather a reference to an exisitng object
will just be copied, thus its tricky.
so for true cloning you need to check if somthing is a complex type if it
is, you have to clone that as well, and thus can get messy recursively.
