Copying objects

[Raistlin]

When I use

set newobject = oldobject



the newobject will change when the oldobject changing. How do I do this but just copy the object.

Thank you

the object is declared like this

Dim newobject as Object

Later is set like:
set newObject = Mapobject2.valuemaprenderer




Thank you for any help

you may use collections:
'did not tested full, so do not know if this will help
'to "just copy the object" you should use
'set myobj= new oldobj
'or
'load theobject
'but if you cannot use New or Load...

dim mycoll as collection
'....
set mycoll = new collection
mycoll.add yourOldobject,"obj1"
mycoll.add youroldObjasSecondobj, "obj2"
....
mycoll("obj1").move 100,100

mycoll("obj2").move 2000,2000
'....
'when finished:
set mycoll= nothing

The type of object doesn't matter anyway. When using the set command, you actually copie the refference to the object, which always points to the same object in memory.
