I was trying to use bulkloader, but I was having a hard time accessing the loader, so I tried it with the casa lib's swfLoader and was able to to clone the object easily.
Thanks!!

Either can be expanded into a more traditional 'clone' method, but I tend to prefer not to. (Much as cloning Dolly didn't immediately end up with a sheep of the same size!) One word of warning: if you're loading a third-party swf with this method, you ought to exercise extreme caution! By copying the bytes into a new loader, you remove security restrictions and the resultant Loader's content will be in your application's security context. If you know that a third-party application is loading in your content, you could use this as an exploit to manipulate the code of the loading application. You’re right.

I should note though that this doesn't really clone the object, but rather instantiates a new one. So if you had, say, set the alpha on the object you are cloning, the newly-created object would not have its alpha set as well. Still, this is quite useful when you want to make a lot of instances, particularly of a MovieClip. Nice examples.
