I'm assuming you're using PHP based upon gzopen. From reading the zlib library documentation, you'll want to use the gzcompress function instead of gzopen to compress your string into the zlib data format (which corresponds to ByteArray's compress/uncompress methods). Note that gzopen uses a slightly different data format, gzip, which is based upon, but incompatible with zlib. This likely accounts for the slight difference in file size and your inability to decompress the file on the Flex side of things.
