I may be wrong but that could be BOM? If you use writeUTF() and open the resulting file in a Unicode
editor do you still see it?

I'm using fileStream to save a text file. This works OK, but introduces

I'm saving XML data. I've kept this as an XML object and also converted
it to string -- same thing always happens.
Any idea how I can get rid of these characters?
Thanks,
This is what I end up with (note the 'g at the beginning) :
'g<order>
<item id="1">
<menuName>burger</menuName>
<price>3.95</price>
</item>
<item id="2">
<menuName>fries</menuName>
<price>1.45</price>
</item>
</order>
This is the Flex 3 code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute" activate="createXML()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.filesystem.*;
public function createXML():void
{
x1 = <order>
<!--This is a comment. -->
<?PROC_INSTR sample ?>
<item id='1'>
<menuName>burger</menuName>
<price>3.95</price>
</item>
<item id='2'>
<menuName>fries</menuName>
<price>1.45</price>
</item>
</order>
}
public var file:File;
public function saveToFile() :void
{
file = new File("/filename.xml");
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, dirSelected);
file.browseForSave('');
}
public function dirSelected(e:Event) :void
{
// this object will get saved to the file
var dat:String = new String;
var str:String = new String;
str = x1.toXMLString();
dat = str;
var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream();
fileStream.open(file, FileMode.WRITE);
fileStream.writeObject(dat);
fileStream.close();
}

</mx:Script>
<mx:Button x="102" y="320" label="Save XML" click="saveToFile()"/>
<mx:XML id="x1" format="e4x"/>
</mx:WindowedApplication>
