The TextFormat, TextRange, and StyleSheet classes enumerate all your
options.  Each class has the same capabilities as the others so just pick
the one you're most comfortable with.  As for what the Flash Player has
available, it has letterspacing (I think this is the same as tracking) and
it supports "kerning" for embeded fonts.  The closest thing the player has
to wordspacing is an alignment value of "justify" (or full) but that's
obviously not the same thing.

You can also play the advanced styles shown in the UITextField class.
Anti-aliasing, sharpness, etc can be set although I'm not sure how much good
they do.
