Tree control parent node label

[John Hall]

The following code works fine (except the part in caps, which isn't code).
Suggestions?

private function changeEvt(event:Event):void {
var theData:String = ""
if (event.currentTarget.selectedItem.@value) {
theData = " Data: " + event.currentTarget.selectedItem.@value;
}
trace(event.currentTarget.selectedItem.@label + theData);

//trace(NEED PARENT NODE LABEL HERE IF IT EXISTS);
}

OK. So I stopped looking too soon. In my case:

trace(browserTree.selectedItem.parent().@label);
