Calling methods about fn-fx HOT 5 CLOSED

I would also really appreciate knowing how to do this.

This does not work because the fn-fx methods (like ui/tab-pane) don't return JavaFX objects, but an internal representation of a such component. The JavaFX objects are created/updated only when the ui changes are applied, and fn-fx tries to hide them. Can you provide a more concrete use case of what you want to achieve? It will help me to find if and how it can be done with the fn-fx api.

Thanks for clarifying. I asked that question more than a year ago, and no longer have that use case, as have 'moved on' from wanting to do whatever I was planing to use fn-fx for.

I'm wondering what would be the easiest work-around for this. I want to animate some text as shown here.

The best I could come up with was to just create the component using java interop and create then play the animation at the same time and just put it into the defui Stage macro as one of the :children properties. This of coarse cannot participate in state changes via fn-fx's machinery. Here's what I have:

(defn make-a-text []
  (let [t (doto (Text. message) (.setLayoutY 100) (.setTextOrigin VPos/TOP)
                (.setTextAlignment TextAlignment/JUSTIFY) (.setWrappingWidth 400)
                (.setFill (Color/rgb 187 195 107))
                (.setFont (Font/font "SansSerif" FontWeight/BOLD 24.0)))
        transition (TranslateTransition. (Duration. 75000) t)]
    (doto transition (.setToY -820) (.setInterpolator Interpolator/LINEAR)
          (.setCycleCount Timeline/INDEFINITE) .play)
    t))

I think the easiest way would be to get the Java FX Node by id. find-nearest-by-id and find-child-by-id from fn-fx.fx-tree-search do this. I guess they were written for internal use, but they are public so you can use them directly. If they are to be part of fn-fx's API, some improvement is needed.
