You do not want to send an XML object, you just want to send the string.
It is the server that needs to convert the string to an XML Object. Just
send it the characters.
You may have to encode the string since HTTP has no idea about CDATA.
The browser and server will look at every character inside the CDATA and
look for things to process .
Try making it shorter.
var encodedString:String = "encoded string";
var XMLString:String;
XMLString = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>";
XMLString += "<file>";
XMLString += "<![CDATA[" + encoded string + "]]>";
XMLString += "</file>";
trace ("XMLString = " + XMLString); // Trace 1
//Need an encode here to protect the "encoded data" from interpretation
var scriptPath:String = uploadUrl + "?xml=" + XMLString + "&key=" + _key +
"&session=" + _sessionId;

I am trying to convert a string to xml but for some reason when I convert to
xml it only displays the "encoded string". See below the code snippet for
what is traced. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Here is my test file
var encodedString:String = "encoded string";
var XMLString:String;
XMLString = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>";
XMLString += "<file>";
XMLString += "<![CDATA[" + encoded string + "]]>";
XMLString += "</file>";
trace ("XMLString = " + XMLString); // Trace 1
var dataToSend:XML = new XML(XMLString);
trace ("dataToSend = " + dataToSend); // Trace 2
var scriptPath:String = uploadUrl + "?xml=" + dataToSend + "&key=" + _key +
"&session=" + _sessionId;

Trace Results

1.
XMLString = <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><file><![CDATA[encoded
string]]></file>
2.
encoded string
