What would be the most effective way to duplicate a Sprite that contains other sprites, sounds?

Hi friends,
what would be the most effective way to duplicate a Sprite that contains other sprites, sounds, bitmaps?
I would like to give my class a Sprite container and duplicate it so that I can, after that, reScale/change Alpha/setPosition the new layer.
The new layer would be a complete copy of the one given as a parameter (sprites, sounds, bitmaps, animations).
It's important to know that the depth of the hierarchy (Sprite container, subcontainer, etc..) is unknown at first.
How would you do?

As for how to implement it, I guess that depends on the structure. If it's unknown, you might need some kind of recursive table copy function as discussed here...

(I'm surprised if there isn't an easier way.)
Thank you I will try and I hope I can achieve it thanks to those links.
I am surprised that this is a need only a few people have.
Cloning a sprite container can be very useful.
If anybody wants to add his own links and methods, i'm all ears.
