It took a day for this post to show up on Yahoo, and in the meantime I have resolved the issue. Turns out that I was passing a WideString from a windows server to Flex (also on Windows). But the char sets must have been different (utf-8 vs ASCII), so the compressed string was misunderstood at trhe client (Flex app).
I pass the string as HexString now and it works fine, will switch to Byte Stream soon. best, Matthew --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Matthew OMeara" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have been spinning cycles trying to get the uncompress function of > ByteArray to process a zipped xml string that I am sending from a > custom web server.
