The compress() method of ByteArray uses standard zlib compression. Correspondingly, the uncompress() method is able to uncompress any zlib compressed data.

After generating your xml dynamically, you can compress it using zlib compression before sending the data back to Flash.

For example, in PHP something like the following will work:

< ?php

// $xml is the dynamically generated XML, string type

$contents = gzcompress($xml);
echo $contents;

Thank you for these useful tips!
Using them any Flash application will be able to handle both text XML and binary XML files.
Excellent!
