You can only have one .fx file, but you *can* use images, movies, sounds, or other resources hosted on the web. You might even create something cool using a custom font like this:

I’ve been working lately on a new project called MaiTai. In order to build MaiTai exactly as I wanted I had to build several custom controls, including a proportional scrollbar for the canvas.
A proportional scrollbar is one where the thumb changes size to reflect the current fraction of a document that you are viewing. It has three values which matter: the current position (value), the total viewable area (totalSpan), and the amount of the viewable area currently visible (viewSpan). This scrollbar only really makes sense when combined with a scrollable document area, so I created a ScrollCanvas as well. Wiring the bars up to the actual document up requires several tricky binds, but the ScrollCanvas already does this for you. Here’s what it looks like:

JFXStudio Challenge: Five is now completely over. We got several entries that I’m excited for you to see. Unfortunately I won’t be able to get them judged this week as I am in Sweden for the OreDev conference, but rest assured you’ll find out the winner, and next month’s theme, very soon.
In the mean time, here’s a great article on doing bitmapped graphics in JavaFX. Keep in mind that everything in this article uses non-public APIs that may change in the future, but it’s fun to play with. Fortunately some of the ideas in this article are influencing API design for future versions of JavaFX, so you may be able to do these sorts of tricks in a supported way one day. (and of course with blinding speed.
