Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new tree component and add it to a container
var view:TreeView = new TreeView ();
view.name="myTree";
addChild(view);
view=null;
2. Then expand this tree's root node
3. Remove this tree
var view: TreeView = TreeView ( _con.getChildByName("myTree"));
removeChild(view);

Actual Results: this tree instance was still on memory, and even I clicked GC button in Profile by manual.

Expected Results: this tree should be removed from memory.

Workaround (if any):

I think this issue is similar with BUG SDK-14781
