    It is only showing the homepage URL because the sitemap program(website) can not find any internal links because they are flash.

    As far as XML sitemaps go they are fairly simple to code. Here is the one I use.
    Code:
    <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd">
    <url>
    <loc>http://www.mydomain.in/</loc>
    <lastmod>2012-06-22</lastmod>
    <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
    <priority>1.0</priority>
    </url>
    <url>
    <loc>http://www.mydomain.in/service1.php</loc>
    <lastmod>2012-06-22</lastmod>
    <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
    <priority>0.9</priority>
    </url>
    <url>
    <loc>http://www.mydomain.in/service2.php</loc>
    <lastmod>2012-06-22</lastmod>
    <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
    <priority>0.9</priority>
    </url>
    I wrote a little tutorial post about the XML sitemap priority, just search 'How to optimise your XML sitemap'.

    Sitemap Help

    Sanjeet.Seo-

    Make sure your sitemap.xml has read/write permissions. Then you can use webmaster tools to see if it fetches correctly.

    Let me know if that does not work.

    Post Re:

    Search engine bots could not crawl flash pages so it would be good if you make it static.

    Validate your sitemap with sitemap validator sites. they will show you the exact reason and error per line.

    Fancy Site but not SEO Friendly

    I went to your site, and even tried to generate sitemap for you using sitemap generator from xml sitemaps. Too bad, normal site map generator can only crawl the static regular HTML page. However, I do know a software that can create sitemap in flash, it's called "A1 Sitemap Generator", you need to check the "Try search for links in flash" option under the crawler options tab. Even if you can create sitemap using this particular method, you are still encourage to change your navigation menu and site content to HTML for better SEO and Serp.
    Thanks,
