how to display an XML data inside an image

[butterflykisses]

hi....

i'm a newbie in using flash...i'm not sure if my problem is simple that's why i decided to post my query on General Help instead...


anyway, i need to display a hierarchy diagram that looks like this:

O
/\
O O
/|\
o o o


the label of the circles would be based on my XML data (in this case the <NODE_NAME> ) ..... how will i go about this?


below is how my XML looks....... the <LEVEL> node is the one responsible so that we will know whether a node is a parent or a child or a grandchild..... in this case <LEVEL>1</LEVEL> is the parent... <LEVEL>2</LEVEL> is the child and <LEVEL>3</LEVEL> is the grandchild..... we will know to whose parent a child belongs based on the </PARENT_NODE_ID>.... so in the XML below, all the nodes with level=3 belongs to <NODE_ID>103488</NODE_ID> because their <PARENT_NODE_ID>103488</PARENT_NODE_ID>

thanks in advance!
