FxApplicationThread usage with

[Kevin Rushforth]

You need to update properties that are bound to a property of a node 
that is live (attached to a scene that is attached to a visible Window) 
on the FX application thread or any number of things could go wrong. You 
can use Platform.runLater to do this.
