Hi

What I have to do is to display this format of data into parent child format using actionscript.Can anyone help me…

eg:  
i have

Fruit:Apple  
Fruit:Mango  
Apple:Brand1  
Apple:Brand2  
Apple:Brand3  
Mango:Brand1  
Brand1:Subbrand1  
…  
…  
The data could be anything but only two items in a row…so i have to pick up consecutive parent and childs and organise them.

I need the Output as:  
Fruit  
\_\_\_\_Apple  
\_\_\_\_Mango  
Apple  
\_\_\_\_Brand1  
\_\_\_\_Brand2  
\_\_\_\_Brand3  
Mango  
\_\_\_\_\_Brand1  
Brand1  
\_\_\_\_\_Subbrand1
