Set-Up

This short screencast shows you how to confirm that you have the JavaFX plugin installed in the NetBeans IDE, or how to install it if necessary.

JavaFX Sample Project: Simple Video Player

This short demo shows that JavaFX comes with ready-to-use multi-media components (such as a movie player) that you easily embed in your application.

JavaFX Sample Project: Spring/Bounce Animation

Interpolators describe the acceleration and deceleration of an animation — in JavaFX, you can use standard built-in interpolators such as discrete, linear or ease-in/ease-out.

This short demo shows how you define custom motions, for example a bounce or a spring motion.

JavaFX Sample Project: Drag and Drop

In this short demo you'll see two implementations of the same drag and drop behavior.

In the first version, the dragged object is a custom image node. The approach shown in the second version can be applied to any type of target node and you will see that it is therefor more flexible.

JavaFX Sample Project: Photo Flip

Nodes such as images have an effect attribute that you can bind to various functions. In this short demo you will see how to use a perspective transform that applies a 3D effect to a 2D image.

There are many more built-in effects such as drop shadows, blurs, glows. You can apply these effects to any graphic node, including shapes, text, and videos, not just images.
