Answer 1

The JavaFX script code (with .fx files) in your question is from the obsolete JavaFX 1.x branch. I strongly advise you not to use the JavaFX 1.x branch. Oracle will drop all support for it this month.
The script code in your question also integrates Swing controls inside JavaFX, which is not supported in current JavaFX 2.x releases.
Instead, use JavaFX 2+ and write your JavaFX code in Java (with .java files) using only JavaFX controls and no Swing controls.
There are some excellent tutorials to get you started:
