Spine is a 2D animation program which competes with Adobe Flash
(http://esotericsoftware.com/).
The post is asking for somebody to convert an Adobe flash file (.fla) to
Spine Animation format (.json) as a test. It's not any different than
asking somebody to convert Softimage to Maya or another 3D package.
If you have the link, I'd like a crack at it.

quoted from a freelance job portal:
"I am looking for an animator that can take an existing flash animation and
copy it in spine animation (with skeleton/bones) and send me the resulting
spine animation file. This is a very quick project and should take a good
spine animator less than 1 hour.
BUT if the work is good then there is potential for a very large freelance
job following converting an entire back catalogue of software titles from
fla animation to spine animation."
The job description got everything: A goofy term used by a clueless person.
An assumption by the same person how long it takes. AND the opportunity to
get a bigger job after this one. Any spine animators on the list?
