Well, if you're in LPS 3.4, obviously your using the Flash runtime... so, I think you might want to use the same underlying primitive that the LzDataset is using, which is to use the Flash XML object, and call it's sendAndLoad method, and then write a callback for it which grabs the raw data from the response.
If you set up the flash onData callback on your XML object, you get a string back which is the raw data, before it has been parsed. You can look at the actionscript docs to see how that works. http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary827.html http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary856.html The XML sendAndLoad method works like the LoadVars.sendAndLoad http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flashmediaserver/3.0/hpdocs/help.html?content=00000325.html Sorry there isn't anything better for 3.4...
