Re: [Dynapi-Help] making object copy not reference

[Brandon M. <bnd...@ho...>]

You'll be happy to know that I have built a Clone() method into my
SuperClass object that I am hoping to release soon. It is only a shallow
copy. It is simple to override the clone method in order to properly clone
the properties that you know should be copied further.

The great thing here is that all objects who use SuperClass as their "Super"
class inherit a TON of functionality. (Docs and examples will explain it
all.)
