JavaFX Scripts do not seem to work on other computers

Question

When I bring my app to another computer the two buttons that should either open a file browser, or take in a file path to open a file both don't work. I don't understand why.

It works perfectly fine if I compile it within Netbeans.

package maxsublistsum;

    maxSum = 0;
    currentSubList = [];
    maxSubList = [];
    currentSum = 0;
    currentStartIndex = -1;
}

public function updateList (newList:Integer[]): Void{
    resetValues();
    list = newList;
    var lastIndex = list.size() - 1;

    for (i in [0..lastIndex]) {
        var currentValue = list[i];

        if (currentSum > 0) {
            currentSum = currentSum + currentValue;
            if (currentStartIndex == -1) { currentStartIndex = i }
            insert currentValue into currentSubList;
        }else {
            currentSum = currentValue;
            currentStartIndex = i;
            currentSubList = [currentValue];
        }
        if (currentSum > maxSum){
            maxSum = currentSum;
            maxEndIndex = i;
            maxStartIndex = currentStartIndex;
            maxSubList = currentSubList
        }
    }
}

}//End of class

It works perfectly fine if I compile it within Netbeans.

Typically, NetBeans puts copies of required libraries alongside your JAR in a folder named dist. You might check that you're including any other required JARs when you copy things elsewhere.

Addendum: There may be something helpful in the article Deploy A Rich Internet Application Developed With JavaFX Technology. Also, some older JWS launchers may not correctly support class-path wildcards.
