Hi All,

Forgive me for my novicehood. I am quite confused about the "Using the Spine Runtimes" documentation (http://esotericsoftware.com/spine-using-runtimes#Animation) because I've come across a few methods that I've used straight out of the documentation, which I realize upon inspecting the source code that it does not match the documentation. For example, I tried using Animation.Apply(skeleton, time, loop) and was faced with an error. Looking at the Animation.cs (from spine-csharp) source code, I realized that Apply consumes 5 parameters (Skeleton skeleton, float lastTime, float time, bool loop, ExposedList<Event> events) instead of 3. lastTime is not documented in the Runtimes Documentation, and after reading the source code documentation, I still don't know what it is. Then I wanted to use Animation.clearAnimation, which I realized is no longer existent at all.

Yet, I've searched many posts in attempt to solve my confusion about the documentation, but unable to find many others in confusion as well.

I hope I don't come across offensive to anyone, as I'm not trying to. I know Nate has worked hard on the Runtimes Documentation from a post I read. I am just looking for some enlightenment. I have some questions that could help me clear some confusion, if anyone could be so kind to answer:

1) Is the "Using the Spine Runtimes" (http://esotericsoftware.com/spine-using-runtimes) documentation indeed outdated? Or am I missing something?

2) In terms of scripting API, are novices expected to get by from just the Runtimes documentation, inspecting the source code, and trial and error? (Asking questions on the forum is great for big questions, but is not time-efficient for many little questions. Mitch's Unity tutorial videos are great, but they don't cover the vast amount of features of the Runtimes (which is understandable and not unexpected).

3) In terms of scripting API, what other sources of information/documentation am I missing, if any?

Thanks for your time 🙂
