Can we break a singleton pattern in flex by using ObjectUtil.copy or ObjectUtil.clone methods

[Shridhar Raghavan]

Was wondering if i can create one instance of Whatever and then create copies of each instance thereby breaking the pattern?

package
{
	import com.adobe.cairngorm.model.IModelLocator;
	
	import mx.controls.Alert;

	[Bindable]
	public class Whatever implements IModelLocator
	{

		// Single Instance of Our ModelLocator
		private static var instance:Whatever;

		public function Whatever( enforcer:SingletonEnforcer )
		{

			if ( enforcer == null )
			{
				throw new Error( "You Can Only Have One Whatever" );
			}
		}

		// Returns the Single Instance
		public static function getInstance():Whatever
		{

			if ( instance == null )
			{
				instance = new Whatever( new SingletonEnforcer );
			}
			return instance;
		}

		public function clone():Object
		{
			Alert.show("No Way");
			return null;
		}
		//DEFINE YOUR VARIABLES HERE       

	}


}

class SingletonEnforcer
{
}
