Hi Nate,
I came from the kickstarter. In the project stretch goal, that said it will allow users to export the animation to actionscript for flash runtime building, so is this feature still in progress?
Thanks, and great work!

I think the feature is not done yet... because it's a stretch goal, that was reached just a few days ago.

kickstarter: Spine – Update #6

[Nate]

Spine exports to a standard format. The stretch goal is to implement a generic runtime for AS3, so supporting Starling will be much easier.

Now I'm trying to parse the json format to Starling by myself, but I found that the "z-index" of each bone is missing, so here is my question: when animation is playing, could the slots or bones change the "z-index" ?

[Nate]

No, currently the slot draw order and bone hierarchy cannot change. Slot draw order may be keyable in the future.

I am currently working on an AS3 lib to handle spine, its mainly a controller that can be attached to anything that implements its interface, so it'll support starling, and displaylist or whatever engine.
But my job is giving me a hard time doing my own projects so it might take some time, then I'll put it in github.
