[RESOLVED] How do you duplicate an object?

[doognam]

duplicating an object doesn't seems to work if the original object contains an array. Is there a way around this? Here's my code:

var originalObj:Object = {people: [{nm: "max"}], age:41, city:"Los Angeles"}
var newObj:Object = new Object()

// I copy all properties of the original object into the newObj
for (var a:String in originalObj) newObj[a] = originalObj[a]

// traces out as expected
trace("name and ages are the same: "+originalObj.people[0].nm+" "+newObj.people[0].nm+" "+originalObj.age+" "+newObj.age)

// I make a change in the array property of the newObj
newObj.people[0].nm = "Kadin"
// I make a change to the number property of the newObj
newObj.age = 4

// the number property works as expected but the change to the array is applied to both the originalObj & newObj objects
trace("names are same but ages are not "+originalObj.people[0].nm+" "+newObj.people[0].nm+" "+originalObj.age+" "+newObj.age)

Any ideas?
