I’m wondering what would the best to way represent this data in AS.

> 

**Topic**  
— Point  
------ Detail  
------ Detail  
----------Sub Detail  
---- Point  
------ Detail  
------ Detail

So, my information will be presented in 4 levels: Topic -\> Point -\> Detail -\> Sub Detail. Each level of these will be dynamic, I could have 0 or 1k. There is the hierarchy required, so they can’t enter a detail, without having a point and topic to place it in. But the addition/subtraction of sub items will not come in any required order.

I don’t know if I should use an Array, an object, a dictionary object, an array of objects. I really just need some guidance here. thanks.
