indent (TextFormat.indent property)
public indent : Number
An integer that indicates the indentation from the left margin to the first character in the
paragraph. A positive value indicates normal indentation. You can use a negative value, but
the negative indentation only applies if the left margin is greater than 0. To set the margin
greater than 0, use the indent property or the blockIndent property of the TextFormat
object. The default value is null, which indicates that the property is undefined.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6 - The ability to use negative values is available as
of Flash Player 8.
Example
The following example creates a text field and sets the indentation to 10:
this.createTextField("mytext",1,100,100,100,100);
mytext.multiline = true;
mytext.wordWrap = true;
mytext.border = true;
var myformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myformat.indent = 10;
mytext.text = "this is my first test field object text";
mytext.setTextFormat(myformat);
