JavaFX JavaScript bridge on Snow Leopard

Question

Hello,
Installed Snow Leopard and tested the javafx/js bridge example at: http://javafx.com/docs/articles/dice/.
It loads fine, but when i click any of those Set D1/D2/Both buttons, I get a "http://javafx.com exception occured" dialog. There are no exceptions on the java console per se. When I enabled applet life cycle errors logging, i did see one exception at load time (see below).
I have tried both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions (through the java preferences UI on snow leopard) for java-plugins but don't see any difference. The platform version is 1.6.0_15 (if i am not wrong), and the bridge requires only 0_10 to work.
Please let me know if you are able to roll the dice fine enough and how..
thanx,
;-p r a b u!

On the Dice example page, I see this warning:
Note: JRE6u10 software ships with two versions of the Java Plug-In software (classic and next generation). The applet in this page requires functionality only available in the "next generation" version.
It then says that Mac users doesn't have yet the next version. I'm not sure if this still applies, but I'm having the same problem for both the example apps and my own apps.
