audio - how to duplicate a Sound object in flash -

I have to duplicate / clone a sound object in flash.

I tried to use different clone methods as it is one

  var snd: sound = UtilFunctions.clone (e. Sound)  

in the form of sound but my clone sound object comes back with zero bytes loaded and total zero bytes.

I do not really want to remove PCRM in battery life due to memory reasons.
