Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a component that simply connects to an FMS server using a NetConnection
2. Add and remove multiple copies of the component.

Actual Results:
The component sticks around even after being removed, due to the NetConnection.

Expected Results:
The component and its children should be GC'ed.

Workaround (if any):
Programmatically figure out when the component is being removed, and call the .close() function on NetConnection at that time.
