UI Scripting and sub-sub-menus in Photoshop

Anybody have any tips for clicking sub-sub-menus in Photoshop?

I can access ordinary menu items in this way:

tell application "Adobe Photoshop 7.0"
activate

tell application "System Events"
tell process "Adobe Photoshop 7.0"
tell menu bar 1
tell menu "Filter"
click menu item "Liquify..."
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

But I can't reach the stuff that is another level down - for instance:

Filter => Render => Clouds

UI Element Inspector gives:

<AXApplication: 3Photoshop2>
<AXMenuBar: 32>
<AXMenuBarItem: 3Filter2>
<AXMenu: 3Filter2>
<AXMenuItem: 3Render2>
<AXMenu: 3Filter Hierarchical 62>
<AXMenuItem: 3Clouds2>

But I can't work out a way to describe "Filter Hierarchical 6" in the script
- and telling menu (or menu item) "Render" to click menu item "Clouds" won't
work :(

What am I missing?
