Example
The following code shows the basic syntax of the clone( ) method:
// NetServices.as is necessary to use clone( )
#include "NetServices.as"
// Set the URL for both connections
NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("http://127.0.0.1/flashservices/gateway");
// Create the original connection
var my_conn = NetServices.createGatewayConnection( );
// Set the credentials header for the first connection
my_conn.setCredentials('admin', '1234');
// Create the cloned connection without the headers (no credentials)
var my_cloneConnection = my_conn.clone( );
