Using a Circle object which has been created outside a Group

Question

Hi all!
I have one trouble:
I create a Circle object outside a Group object.
I trying to use th Circle in the Group and I have got compilation error.
It's my code:
* testfx.fx
* Created on 24.03.2009, 21:19:00
package testfx;
import javafx.scene.effect.*;
import javafx.scene.paint.*;
import javafx.scene.shape.*;
import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.scene.text.*;
import javafx.scene.control.*;
import javafx.scene.transform.*;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
var MyCircle : Circle = Circle{
    centerX: 200
    centerY: 200
    radius: 15
    fill: Color.BLUE
function run(){
    Stage {
        title: "Button"
        width:400
        height:400
        scene: Scene{
            fill: Color.BLACK
            content:[
                Group{
                    content:[
                        Rectangle{
                            x: 125
                            y: 175
                            width: 150
                            height: 50
                            arcHeight: 5
                            arcWidth: 5
                            stroke: Color.GRAY
                            fill: LinearGradient{
                                startX: 0.0
                                startY: 0.0
                                endX: 0.0
                                endY: 1.0
                                proportional: true
                                stops:[
                                    Stop{offset: 0.0 color: Color.WHITE},
                                    Stop{offset: 1.0 color: Color.BLACK}
                        MyCircle                           <------- (SIC!)    
                    effect: Reflection{
                        fraction: 1.0
                        topOffset: 3
                        topOpacity: 0.8
                        bottomOpacity: 0.2
}My error:
Note: The following error is an internal error in the OpenJFX compiler (1.1.0).

Where is my mistake here?
I'm sorry for my English, I have not enough knowledge in it at the moment.

Try this:
package testfx;
import javafx.scene.effect.*;
import javafx.scene.paint.*;
import javafx.scene.shape.*;
import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
var myCircle : Circle = Circle{
centerX: 200
centerY: 200
radius: 15
fill: Color.BLUE
Stage {
title: "Button"
width:400
height:400
scene: Scene{
fill: Color.BLACK
content:[
Group{
content:[
Rectangle{
x: 125
y: 175
width: 150
height: 50
arcHeight: 5
arcWidth: 5
stroke: Color.GRAY
fill: LinearGradient{
startX: 0.0
startY: 0.0
endX: 0.0
endY: 1.0
proportional: true
stops:[
Stop{offset: 0.0 color: Color.WHITE},
Stop{offset: 1.0 color: Color.BLACK}
myCircle
effect: Reflection{
fraction: 1.0
topOffset: 3
topOpacity: 0.8
bottomOpacity: 0.2
By the way, you could define the Circle inline, like this:
package testfx;
import javafx.scene.effect.*;
import javafx.scene.paint.*;
import javafx.scene.shape.*;
import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
Stage {
title: "Button"
width:400
height:400
scene: Scene{
fill: Color.BLACK
content:[
Group{
content:[
Rectangle{
x: 125
y: 175
width: 150
height: 50
arcHeight: 5
arcWidth: 5
stroke: Color.GRAY
fill: LinearGradient{
startX: 0.0
startY: 0.0
endX: 0.0
endY: 1.0
proportional: true
stops: [
Stop{
offset: 0.0
color: Color.WHITE
Stop{
offset: 1.0
color: Color.BLACK
Circle{
centerX: 200
centerY: 200
radius: 15
fill: Color.BLUE
effect: Reflection{
fraction: 1.0
topOffset: 3
topOpacity: 0.8
bottomOpacity: 0.2
