All of these techniques copy generic objects (as in property containers,
name value pairs). Typed objects do not function in exactly the same way. As
a result, you can't clone them generically.

Hi.
Right now I'm having the same problem.
I even found this:
public function cloneObject(o:Object):Object
{
var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
bytes.writeObject(o);
bytes.position = 0;
return bytes.readObject();
}
but ended up always in the casting problem :(
Had you find an answer?
Thanks
Best regards
