InheritanceDRMErrorEvent Inheritance ErrorEvent Inheritance TextEvent Inheritance Event Inheritance Object

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0, Flash Player 10.1

The DRMErrorEvent class provides information about errors that occur when playing digital rights management (DRM) encrypted files.

The runtime dispatches a DRMErrorEvent object when a NetStream object, trying to play a digital rights management (DRM) encrypted file, encounters a DRM-related error. For example, a DRMErrorEvent object is dispatched when the content provider does not support the viewing application, or when the user authorization fails, possibly because the user has not purchased the content.

In the case of invalid user credentials, the DRMAuthenticateEvent object handles the error by repeatedly dispatching until the user enters valid credentials, or the application denies further attempts. The application should listen to any other DRM error events in order to detect, identify, and handle the DRM-related errors.

This class provides properties containing the object throwing the exception, the error code, and, where applicable, a suberror code and text message containing information related to the error. For a description of DRM-related error codes, see the Runtime error codes. The DRM-related error codes start at error 3300.

bubbles:Boolean (default = false) — Determines whether the Event object participates in the bubbling stage of the event flow. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited bubbles property.
 
cancelable:Boolean (default = false) — Determines whether the Event object can be canceled. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited cancelable property.
 
inErrorDetail:String (default = "") — Where applicable, the specific syntactical details of the error.
 
inErrorCode:int (default = 0) — The major error code.
 
insubErrorID:int (default = 0) — The minor error ID.
 
inMetadata:DRMContentData (default = null)
 
inSystemUpdateNeeded:Boolean (default = false)
 
inDrmUpdateNeeded:Boolean (default = false)

Returns
Event — A new DRMErrorEvent object with property values that match those of the original.

toString

()method 
override public function toString():String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0, Flash Player 10.1

Returns a string that contains all the properties of the DRMErrorEvent object. The string is in the following format:

[DRMErrorEvent type=value bubbles=value cancelable=value eventPhase=value errroID=value subErrorID=value text=value

Returns
String — A string that contains all the properties of the DRMErrorEvent object.

The DRMErrorEvent.DRM_ERROR constant defines the value of the type property of a drmError event object.

This event has the following properties:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse; there is no default behavior to cancel.
errorIDA numerical error code assigned to the problem.
subErrorIDAn error code that indicates more detailed information about the underlying problem.
targetThe NetStream object.
