Drilldown Problem Using Parent Hierarchy

Does anyone know how to create a parent-child hierarchy that can be expanded (ie drilldown capabilities) in reporting services as well as analysis services?

Currently, I have a dimension with three attributes: parent, child, and key. Everything works fine in Analysis Services. When I click browse for the cube and I add the parent-child hierarchy, Analysis Services autogenerates a drilldown from the top level to the bottom level. However, reporting services doesn't seem to recognize the parent hierarchy as being a true hierarchy. After I add the parent-child hierarchy to a table or matrix, it will only add the very first level. There doesn't seem to be any way for reporting services to autogenerate the drilldown like in Analysis Services.

I really need this to work on a report. Any ideas would be much appreciated? Thank you.

You need to set the parent property on the grouping, check out this page on Recursive Hierarchies for details http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155903.aspx|||That link applies to Report Designer but what about Report Builder? When I generate a SMDL from an Analysis Services cube, the model contains all my dimensions but if I drag them over to the report, it returns all the available members.
