JavaFX how to change stage

javajavafxnetbeansscenescenebuilder

I'm using Netbeans 7.2 with Scene Builder 1.0 to develop a JavaFX application. I have my main screen set up, and I want to have it so I click a button and it'll close the main window and open another. The main Stage object is located in the main class, but the controller class is separate, and can't access it since it's not static and in a different class. How do I change the scene or stage?

Best Answer

Download JavaFX samples find the project FXML-LoginDemo , that's what you need. For quick reference i am copy pasting main java class here ;)
