flash.events.DRMAuthenticateEvent - Adobe® Flex® 4 Language Reference (Flex 4)

Package	flash.events
Class	public class DRMAuthenticateEvent
Inheritance	DRMAuthenticateEvent Event Object

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

A NetStream object dispatchs a DRMAuthenticateEvent object when attempting to play digital rights management (DRM) encrypted content that requires a user credential for authentication.

The DRMAuthenticateEvent handler is responsible for gathering the required credentials (such as the user name, password, and type) and passing the values to the NetStream.setDRMAuthenticationCredentials() method for authentication. Each AIR application must provide some mechanism for obtaining user credentials. For example, the application could provide a user with a simple user interface to enter the username and password values, and optionally the type value as well.

If user authentication failed, the application will retry authentication and dispatch a new DRMAuthenticateEvent event for the NetStream object.

Property Detail

authenticationType

property

authenticationType:String [read-only]

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.0

Indicates whether the supplied credentials are for authenticating against Flash Media Rights Management Server (FMRMS) or a proxy server. For example, the "proxy" option allows the application to authenticate against a proxy server if an enterprise requires such a step before the user can access the Internet. Unless anonymous authentication is used, after the proxy authentication, the user still needs to authenticate against FMRMS in order to obtain the voucher and play the content. You can use setDRMAuthenticationcredentials() a second time, with "drm" option, to authenticate against FMRMS.

	`cancelable:Boolean` (default = `false`) — Determines whether the Event object can be canceled. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited `cancelable` property.

	`header:String` (default = "") — The encrypted content file header provided by the server.

	`userPrompt:String` (default = "") — A prompt for a user name credential, provided by the server.

	`passPrompt:String` (default = "") — A prompt for a password credential, provided by the server.

	`urlPrompt:String` (default = "") — A prompt for a URL to display, provided by the server.

	`authenticationType:String` (default = "") — Indicates whether the supplied credentials are for authenticating against the Flash Media Rights Management Server (FMRMS) or a proxy server.

	`netstream:NetStream` (default = `null`) — The NetStream object that initiated this event.
