# spine-starling The spine-starling runtime provides functionality to load, manipulate and render [Spine](http://esotericsoftware.com) skeletal animation data using [Starling](http://gamua.com/starling/). spine-starling is based on [spine-as3](https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/tree/master/spine-as3). ## Setup 1. Download the Spine Runtimes source using [git](https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git) or by downloading it [as a zip](https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/archive/master.zip). 1. Using Adobe Flash Builder 4.6, import the spine-as3 and spine-starling projects by choosing File -> Import -> Existing projects. For other IDEs you will need to create new projects and import the source. Alternatively, the contents of the `spine-as3/src` and `spine-starling/src` directories can be copied into your project. ## Examples [Spine atlas example](https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/blob/master/spine-starling/spine-starling-example/src/AtlasExample.as#L21) [Starling atlas example](https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/blob/master/spine-starling/spine-starling-example/src/StarlingAtlasExample.as#L18) [Skin example](https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/blob/master/spine-starling/spine-starling-example/src/GoblinsExample.as#L21)
