Hello Everyone,
Perhaps this has been asked previously, sorry.
When creating a presentation where one image will have 8 touch points I cant figure out how to edit each one. when I aim my mouse at a touch point icon and right click>choose edit it edits only the first touch point.

Bright Scripters Double click the touch event itself.

David Sorry I'm I missing something. I've done every variation of selecting and right clicking. I put a send udp on the first touch. when I try to edit any others it brings up the first touch event. I have aimed the mouse at each event with no success. right clicked then clicked "edit" for each event.

David I should of expanded on my question. Typically touch draws a line from the source to some piece of content. Then yes I have no problem editing the touch command. I have a 2 zone layout. one with an image which is the menu the other zone is a few videos. The image has multiple touch areas but instead of linking it to the media i'm sending a udp string.
so all the touch symbols live on the image, one next to each other.
This is the issue im facing.
the work around i have found it use the touch command to add another touch region but delete it and then i have access to the orginal touch areas that i can now update. -
Monica Knutson This may be a silly question, but are you resizing the touchzone when you edit it to fit over the top of the touch point? You should have eight distinct rectangles over your image. When you edit, you always see all touch zones no matter which one you double click to edit. Then, when you have the window open, you select the black rectangle that represents the touch zone and edit the action. Each touch zone will have its own Advanced actions you can add to it where you send your UDP commands. Hope that helps!

David Nope that is correct. I can edit touch zones and program each one when creating for the first time. Once I close that edit windows and try to go back I am unable to access that edit windows.
The work around I use is to add an additional touch zone, then remove the additional zone. I'm now back at the edit screen.
Is this how you edit touch zones once they are closed. -
Brandon @David - While you're in the Edit window, go to Advanced and change the display from Line to Label. That'll give you spaced-out event icons instead of a pile of overlapping ones when you only have two states linking each other.

David Thats it! that worked.
Thank you so much Brandon -
Monica Knutson You can also set that as a preference in
Edit > Preferences > UI
Then in Transitions set to ALWAYS DISPLAY LABEL.
Cheers,
