What Can I Build with JavaFX?
 | Interesting Photos This sample uses Web Services (Flickr's REST API) to retrieve photos from Flickr into a JavaFX application. Works for desktop and mobile deployment. |
 | Path Animation This sample shows how to animate a shape along an arbitrary vector path. It has two scenarios: a car running on a racetrack and a boat sailing on waves. You only have to create an animated node for a visual asset and a path for the track along which it moves. Works for desktop and mobile deployment. |
 | JavaFX MediaBox Player For Streaming Video This sample uses the JavaFX Media Component, a prefabricated video player that provides all of the standard video player controls you might need. Incorporating video in your application is as simple as creating an instance of this component, setting a few variables and including a link to your video source. Works for desktop deployment. |
