There is an AS3 driver called ActionMongo (https://github.com/ argoncloud/ActionMongo) that I want to use for several projects. The issue with the driver is it does not have authentication implemented so I can't authenticate into any of my databases.

I've started extending the library to add an authenticate function following the instructions on the mongo site here: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Implementing+Authentication+in+a+Driver

I was able to tweak the code to get the call for {getnonce:1} to work and am successfully retrieving a nonce to attempt an authentication command. The docs on mongodb.org just say execute a command, and I'm not sure how. From reading through the Java source (I don't write Java) it looks like the Java driver sends database commands like {authenticate:1, user:...} via a __find() method. I am trying to replicate this method in the ActionScript 3 driver but I keep receiving an error from the mongodb server that says "no such cmd".

Are there any specific instructions anywhere on how to set up a command call for a driver other than what the page I linked to above says "The next step is to run an authenticate command", but how? I'm using OP_QUERY and the message keeps failing with "no such cmd".

I would greatly appreciate any help!
