Error # 1090

Question

Hi,
I'm new to Flex. Running into a problem to bring back query
results saved as
xml to Flex, the odd thing is, when I tested the same output
to xml (save it to an xml file),
I find it a valid XML file, then why Flex complained about
#1090 -- "1090 XML
parser failure: element is malformed." From Flex end using
HTTPService
call/class. It gets very frustrated!
What could be its culprit?
Thanks.

backend cf query is simple (getCustomer.cfm):
<cfquery name="getCustomers"
datasource="myNorthwindDB">
SELECT top 2 customerid, companyname, city
FROM customers
</cfquery>
<cfxml variable="customerXML">
<customers>
<cfloop query="getCustomers">
<cfoutput>
<customer>
<customerid>#toString(customerid)#</customerid>
<companyname>#companyname#</companyname>
<city>#city#</city>
</customer>
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</customers>
</cfxml>
<cfoutput>#customerXML#</cfoutput>
debugging:
warning: unable to bind to property 'customer' on class
'String' (class is not an IEventDispatcher)
sample data:
<customer>
<customerid>ABCD </customerid>
<companyname>DataWeb</companyname>
<city>Roanoke</city>
</customer>
<customer>
<customerid>ALFKI</customerid>
<companyname>Alfreds Futterkiste</companyname>
<city>Berlin</city>
</customer>
Many thanks.
