Good way to clone a DisplayObjectContainer?

[Akis]

I need to clone a object container which contains a bunch of other sprite/graphics/text/... What's the best way to do it?

 

Maybe change what I need to change in it and then create a texture of it? In my case, I don't need to change anything else after creating the clone actually.

 

 

//edit: Seems to work fine, feel free to suggest something else if there is a better way

And, is it fine to remove everything with this code, when I don't need it anymore?

renderTexture.destroy();container.removeChild(sprite);renderTexture = null;sprite = null;
