Multiple instances of one object ?

Hi Bob,

Raymond's answer solved my problem and it works fine. It seems that each
object type must be cloned in separate way.

I came across Object.constructor in the docs today -- I don't know if you could use it usefully for a DisplayObject that came from a loader.

Thanks Raymond. It works fine and solves my problem :-)
By the way - is any way to clone not bitmap movie clips? Sometimes MC has
complex structure and contains attached a couple of another MC's including
bitmaps and other objects.

Maybe something like this:

function getLoaderImageCopy(loader:Loader):Bitmap
{
var o:DisplayObject = loader.content;
// see BitmapData ctor for additional args
var img:BitmapData = new BitmapData(o.width, o.height);
img.draw(o);
var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(img);
return bmp;
}
var newImg:Bitmap = getLoaderImageCopy(myLoader);
this.addChild(newImg);

Did you mean:

arr=new Array();
arr.push(myMc);
arr.push(myMc);
arr.push(myMc);
...

I think that it will not working because
arr[0].name==arr[1].name==arr[2].name...
All cells of array will refer to the same MC with the same instance name.

Hi,
you can store instanced clip in array. Than you can do what you want with instances.
I look into your site and see wath the problem is. The way to solve it dependent of implementation of animation.
If I must do this effect I will make a dummy MovieClip ( to store the chossen bitmat ) and make a MovieClip( for example: animClip ) with this effect. When a bitmap is choosen i will create a instance of animClip and store its reference into array( if I need to hold this reference for some reason ). Then I will place a bitmap in dummy clip. Into last frame of animation I will call a function ( or rise an event ) to now which animation is ended.
I think you do someting like this.
