Not able to access Label and imageview from Javafx scene builder - javafx

Question

I have been trying to access the imageview in JavaFXML Controller. I have set the imageview fx:id = BWBHQ in the scene builder.
And I'm trying to access it so-
image= new javafx.scene.image.Image(getClass().getResource("dragon.png").toExternalForm());
System.out.println(image.getHeight());//Image is getting loaded
BWBHQ.setImage(image);//null pointer error
I cant figure out why there is a null pointer error.
Please help!!
This is my Application Class:
public class JavaFXApplication2 extends Application {
public static Stage mainStage;
public static Scene scene1,scene2,scene3,scene4;
#Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
Parent root2 = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("InputScreen.fxml"));
scene2 = new Scene(root2);
Parent root4 = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("GameScreen.fxml"));
scene4 = new Scene(root4);
mainStage=stage;
stage.setScene(scene1);
stage.show();
}
}
This is my FXMLController class
public class FXMLDocumentController implements Initializable {
#FXML
public ImageView BWBHQ ;
#FXML
public void handleInputScreenButtonAction(ActionEvent event) {
initializeWorld();
JavaFXApplication2.mainStage.setScene(JavaFXApplication2.scene4);
}
public void initializeWorld()
{
//create cities
javafx.scene.image.Image image;
image= new javafx.scene.image.Image(getClass().getResource("dragon.png").toExternalForm());
System.out.println(image.getHeight());
BWBHQ.setImage(image);
}
}
This is the GameScreen.fxml that contains the imageview BWBHQ
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.image.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.text.*?>
<?import java.lang.*?>
<?import java.util.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>

<ImageView fx:id="RW1BHQ" fitHeight="25.0" fitWidth="25.0" layoutX="674.0" layoutY="190.0" pickOnBounds="true" preserveRatio="true" />
</children>
</AnchorPane>
This is the error
