Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Rin this code:
import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;
private var someArray:Array = [

{label:"Two"}

];
protected function bug_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
someArray = ObjectUtil.clone(someArray) as Array;
//someArray.pop();
for each (var o2:Object in someArray)

{ trace(o2.label); }

}

Actual Results:

• a null pointer exception

Expected Results:

• trace "Two"

You can un-comment the pop too. In this case you have the "for in" running inside an empty Array.

Workaround (if any):
