I'm on Lesson 11 and trying to access:
http://www.flexgrocer.com/rawSalesData.xml
http://www.flexgrocer.com/salesData.xml

via HTTPServices. I'm getting the following error messages when I use
Firefox:

XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Location: http://www.flexgrocer.com/rawSalesData.xml
Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
^

When I use IE I get an install Flash player message that I don't
understand and don't have time to deal with.

Any help would be appreciated!

that is correct. Firefox has an issue displaying the XML file but it
is just within firefox. this will not impact how the application works
at all.

If you were to navigate to that URL in IE, you would see the XML.
Note: This does not require you to have flash player installed in
IE... you are just looking at a file in a web browser in this case,
nothing to do with flash
