yes, you can.

import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;

var myCopy:* = ObjectUtil.copy( originalObject );

then you got a copy of original object.

btw, if you check the source you will find it's done by ByteArray so internal structure are kept after copying.

Is there a way to copy the object by value instead of reference upon
drag and drop? I'd like to make a copy of the object being dropped
into the new container so that changes made to it, do not effect the
original.

I tried implementing a handler on dragComplete as such:

public function handleSelectedItemsDragComplete(e:DragEvent):void {
Object(e.draggedItem).data = "">}

This doesn't seem to work and I'm not sure why. When I make updates to
DataGrid A, it still effects DataGrid B.

Is there a better way to accomplish this?
