Thanks very much for the link, I've downloaded the code to experiment with.

I have now managed to sort out that my server-side encoder is adding 5
bytes in front of the zipped data that chokes Flex, so that's a help
as well. I can always pull those bytes off before transfer, if
necessary.

Thanks again.

 Thanks for the link! I couldn't get the AIR app to compile, but
 realized it pointed out an obvious strategy: use Flash to
 encode/decode the test string. I've got that going now so I can sort
 out a byte comparison with my server-side encoder's.
 
 I also found an old bug report that indicates that Flash only
 understands 'zlib' and does not understand deflate, at the moment.
 That's a bit of a help but 'zlib' covers a bit of ground, as far as I
 can tell (?)
 
 Thanks again.
