You don't need to import XML anymore, the XMLElement class is a part of Processing now. I saw that some other reference examples were still importing, I'm removing it from those.

well, I cannot get this to work either way; I get an error (below). I'd love some help because I wanted to teach XML parsing to my class...

FFFD looks like an Unicode BOM, no?
AFAIK, no XML parsers for Processing handle Unicode, not even code pages, only plain Ascii.
If your XML is Unicode by accident (eg. saved in Windows' Notepad with default settings), just re-save in plain Ascii.
Otherwise, use Java's XML reading capabilities.

oh my goodness! I saved it in textedit on a mac, and yes it was saved in unicode! I had to go into WORD and save as text only! Thank you SO much for your help! (and I'm embarrassed, I really should have known better!)

Thanks again!
