The MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in this example requires Flash Player
7 or later. If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components
DepthManager class instead of the
MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.
blockIndent (TextFormat.blockIndent property)
public blockIndent : Number
A number that indicates the block indentation in points. Block indentation is applied to an
entire block of text; that is, to all lines of the text. In contrast, normal indentation
(
TextFormat.indent) affects only the first line of each paragraph. If this property is null,
the TextFormat object does not specify block indentation.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6
Example
This example creates a text field with a border and sets the blockIndent to 20.
this.createTextField("mytext",1,100,100,100,100);
mytext.multiline = true;
mytext.wordWrap = true;
mytext.border = true;
var myformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myformat.blockIndent = 20;
mytext.text = "This is my first test field object text";
mytext.setTextFormat(myformat);
bold (TextFormat.bold property)
public bold : Boolean
A Boolean value that specifies whether the text is boldface. The default value is null, which
indicates that the property is undefined. If the value is
true, then the text is boldface.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6
Example
The following example creates a text field that includes characters in boldface.
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.bold = true;
this.createTextField("my_txt", 1, 100, 100, 300, 100);
my_txt.multiline = true;
my_txt.wordWrap = true;
