If the property is an Object (and not a primitive like number or string), then
it is handled by reference and must be “cloned” or copied. This is called a
deep copy. The code snippet is a shallow copy. ObjectUtil has a clone method
for doing deep copies but it requires registering class aliases for all classes
and objects involved.

Ok. But Its Not compulsory that you have to write a clone method. Anyways other
way you can try is
public function cloneLeaf():CallMonitoringLeaf
{
var obj:CallMonitoringLeaf = new CallMonitoringLeaf();
obj.optionCallMonitoring = this.optionCallMonitoring;
obj.nodesSelected =this.nodesSelected;
obj.dataCallMonitoring = this.dataCallMonitoring;
obj.nodeName = this.nodeName;
return obj;
}
So now calling cloneLeaf() returns new duplicated object.
Hope this works for you. I did't test it, however your reply will tell about
that. :)
Thanks

If nodeName is a class, you'll need to create a clone method in that class as
well, and do this:
obj.nodeName = nodeName.clone();
If it's just a string, you can try:
obj.nodeName = nodeName.toString();
