A simple question about bindings in JavaFX- been asked before with no answer

DFanslerOct 25 2014 — edited Dec 3 2014

I am a newbie to Java/Javafx.  I got interested in Javafx due to a car I am building and want to use a Raspberry Pi for the display that shows speed, tach, volts, amps, water temp, etc.  So I loaded NetBeans and Scene Builder on my PC, created a background in Photoshop then started a new project in NetBeans which I used Scene Builder to create my GUI.  All it consist of is a bunch of textfields that I want to be able to fill from another class/method.  I have spent the last 2 months reading anything I could find on the internet about bindings.  None of them answer the question of how to modify a textfield created by Scene Builder by another class/method.  I am at the point of dumping Javafx and the Raspberry Pi, and going back to C and an Atmel processor.  It takes more work than with Javafx and Scene Builder, but I can make it work.

I have been programming since 1976 - machine instructions for the RCA 1802, assembly language (1802, Z80, 6800, PIC 16xx,), C for Atmel Mega, Renesas ucontrollers, Basic and Visual Basic for the PC.  but Java/JavaFX is just about to do me in.

A question about "simple bindings" was asked in 2012, and it got no replies.  I hope someone out there will be kind of enough to help reach my goal of using the Raspberry Pi with JavaFX.

If interested, I can post some bare minimum code to show what I have and what I want to do.

Kind regards,

David
