JavaFX applet crashes while setting Group visible

Question

Hi,
I have a big problem with my JavaFX applet. Sometimes I have to switch the visibility of some Groups in my applet. But often the GUI crashes and I have to close the browser and start it again. I think it's just the GUI that chrashes because the Java Console tells me the applet is running. Do anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Tobi

Do you mean that it just doesn't react anymore?Exactly. The GUI just freezes.
var event:String = "" on replace   //if variable changes set visible
      if(event.equals("online"))
             groupOffline.visible = false;
             groupOnline.visible = true;
      if(event.equals("offline"))
             groupOnline.visible = false;
             groupOffline.visible = true;
var groupOnline:Group = Group
     var text:Text = Text
          font : Font {
               size: 24
          x: 50
          y: 100
          content: bind "{user} is online"
     var btn:MyButton = MyButton   //custom node
          title: "Test"
          posX: 100
          posY: 150
          action: function()
               //Action
     content: [text, btn]
     visible: false;
var groupOffline:Group = Group
     var text:Text = Text
          font : Font {
               size: 24
          x: 50
          y: 100
          content: bind "{user} is offline"
     var btn:MyButton = MyButton   //custom node
          title: "Test2"
          posX: 100
          posY: 150
          action: function()
               //Action
     content: [text, btn]
     visible: false;
}I've shorten the code. There are more groups like them above. But it's always the same. If the event variable changes I set the visibility of the groups. But on Windows XP with Firefox and IE the GUI freezes sometimes. On Mac I haven't got this problem.
