It can be done, but it does not have much to do with flex. The server side that 
sends the file can decide what name to give the file. So in php it would be 
something like

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="export.csv"')

When you do a navigateToUrl from Flex to the url for file download brokered by 
the type of code above, you will be prompted to download a file with name with 
export.csv...with your xml content. Very similar syntax in java and cold fusion.
