Sometimes the space between text characters can appear awkward or where increasing the space is a creative solution Flash provides

meth-ods for adjusting these spaces, called kerning and tracking Tracking is

the space between characters and words on a single line and adjusting

tracking affects the entire line Kerning deals with the space between

any two characters and adjusting it will only affect that space Many Fonts contain built-in information about problematic character pairs

Flash makes use of this information when you turn on Auto Kern in the Property Inspector
