duplicateDisplayObject (Duplicate Clip) using Senocular Class

I was just trying to duplicate a MovieClip when i got this a very good class from senocular library.

http://www.senocular.com/flash/actionscript.php?file=ActionScript_3.0/com/senocular/display/duplicateDisplayObject.as

This class helps in duplicating the clips.

Here in example i have created a circle Sprite and i am duplicating it with the senoclular class.

The basic idea that i felt was that, you can duplicate the object after it is added to stage. Please reply me if anyone of you get any understanding of it. I am new to AS3.0 n hv just started learning.

Consider a simple class. This could be anything but for simplicity i am taking it.

doubleRed.as

package {

import flash.display.Graphics;

import flash.display.Sprite;

import flash.display.MovieClip;

public class doubleRed extends Sprite{

public function doubleRed()

{

graphics.beginFill(0x00ff00);

graphics.drawCircle(50,50,15);

graphics.endFill();

}

}

}

Look @ this Flash File code.

var db:doubleRed = new doubleRed();

addChild(db);

var newInstance:DisplayObject = duplicateDisplayObject(db, true);

newInstance.x = 200;

newInstance.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,dragme);

newInstance.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopme);

function dragme(event:MouseEvent):void{

event.target.startDrag();

}

function stopme(event:MouseEvent):void{

event.target.stopDrag();

}

var newInstance1:DisplayObject = duplicateDisplayObject(db, true);

newInstance1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,dragme);

newInstance1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopme);

I have just created the instance and first added it to the stage.
