How can I make child movieclips sprout from a parent movieclip connected by lines via actionscript ?

Essentially I want to make something like a geneology tree/ or flow chart to show a path of ideas or data?

I have already made a main clip that connects to smaller clips by lines. I want to make it so I can click to reveal the small clips and the birth a new parent clip also with children.
