this is the xml file of my flash.But ignores the hyphen(-) and comma(,) like New-Age comes like NewAge and Properties, comes like PropertiesWifi WHY?

Answer 1

, and - are perfectly fine in XML. I guess whatever is parsing your XML is ignoring these characters. Maybe you need to escape them in some way?

Answer 2

Try wrapping your XML node values in <![CDATA[]]>, it`s good practice anyway!

(On a completely different note, highfun is the most hilarious spelling of hyphen I`ve seen :) )
