#### Availability

Flash Player 6.

#### Usage

    my_fmt.blockIndent

#### Description

Property; 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`) only affects the first line of each paragraph. If this property is `null`, the TextFormat object does not specify block indentation.
