Global Kerning of fonts In FontLab

Hello There.

I apologize if this has been discussed before or if its a lame question but I have truly reached my wits end. So thanks in advance to those still reading.

We discovered today from our programmer that having dynamic text in Flash does not allow for kerning. So I decided to solve this problem by generating a new version of the font with the (-2) kerning built in, so that it would look good and not need any additional work coming straight outta Flash. I am not even an occasional user of FontLab, but have spent the day getting aquainted with it

All of Mana's 1400+ kerning pairs work fine in Flash.

I am having the same issue using FontLab 5.0.2 Studio for Mac. I am trying to decrease the kerning of Helvetica Neue.

I will try this and see if works.

Thanks a lot.
