Answer 1

let's try

1. in FXMLDocumentController.java, change the first line in loadSplashScreen() method,

from

StackPane pane = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/SplashFXML.fxml"));

to

StackPane pane = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("SplashFXML.fxml"));

2. in FXMLDocument.fxml, add fx:id="root" to the AnchorPane section. make it change

from

AnchorPane id="AnchorPane" prefHeight="462.0" prefWidth="473.0" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.101" fx:controller="finalf.FXMLDocumentController"

to

AnchorPane id="AnchorPane" fx:id="root" prefHeight="462.0" prefWidth="473.0" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.101" fx:controller="finalf.FXMLDocumentController"

Hope it solves your problem after this two steps.
