[x3d-public] setting TouchSensor DEF in initialize() and adding a ROUTE doesn't work

[John Carlson]

I'm trying to achieve a large checkbox menu, with animations on the X axis
and body parts on the Y axis, plus a row for all body parts for convenience.

(sorry, large image)

My guess is that a PROTO with ProtoInstance code generation will be the
best way to achieve this (no, I don't want to type all that in)!

Source code is available for interested parties.

It would be OK, if people told me to do this in HTML, but I would probably
switch to X_ITE or X_ITE vscode.
