this is my plist file. as you can see i have a key for "Blocks" and its values and "Enemies" and their values

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

			<real>0</real>
			<key>speed</key>
			<real>2</real>
		</dict>
	</array>
</dict>
 </array>
</plist>

and to read this in i am using

std::string levelsFile = FileUtils::getInstance()->fullPathForFilename("../../Resources/levels.plist");

ValueVector m_levels = FileUtils::getInstance()->getValueVectorFromFile(levelsFile);

for (auto levelData : m_levels){
    auto data = levelData.asValueMap();

    log("The description of the string value : %s", levelData.getDescription().c_str());


    block.at(i)->create(Vec2(
        ladderdata["x"].asInt(),
	ladderdata["y"].asInt()
	), this);
}

Thanks in advance to any one that helps
