You probably mean the Clone Extension There are a few posts with some adaptions spotted around the forum. I use it a lot in my own stuff.
@jonathan Really wish Hype would introduce a native method though. It doesn't even need to do much (if you know what I mean 
) apart from returning a specified number of cloned objects and which all are known to the hype runtime ever or the Hype object after initiation if the runtime has already run.
The objects would start of hidden.
It would then be up to you to manage them on the scene with a show() api and rest of the native api to control an element. The only thing that would possibly be something to think about is if an object has any actions on it or is a group with items that have actions.
In my extension I adapt things like click actions on the cloned element to use native JS onclick. But in this suggestion they would need to be able to include the native Hype actions of the original.
