How to get parent container of a menu

[trojan]

Hi,

I have a menu inside another menu which again reside inside another menu (3 level). Now i want to get the component in which any particular menu resides.

Menu 1
Menu 1.1
Menu 1.1.1
Menu 1.1.2
Menu 1.2
Menu 1.2.1
Menu 2
Menu 2.1

Now if i click on menu 1.2.1 then i want to get Menu 1.2 and then Menu 1

But I could not find any way of doing this.

Use:

var parent = item.parentMenu.parentMenu.items.get(item.parentMenu.id);

For instance I put a menu inside a panel named "test" and now when the menu is clicked I want to change something in the panel test. If this were a button inside the panel, I coud do btn.up("test") to give me the panel however menu.up("panel") is undefined.
