Pictures get invisible in Quizmaker

Dec 01, 2011

Hi all quizmaker users and experts,

I have experienced something very odd.

I have added some .png pictures to some quiz question. Then we decided to change the layout on the master page. In the end we created a new page instead of updating the page that was assigned to the quiz.

After applying the new master page to my quiz some of the pictures in the questions disappeared!!

When i had a closer look it seems that the picture frame is there but there is no picture in it.

If i try to do a "update picture" by a right clik quizmaker just close down :-(

Any ideas?

Greetings, Mats!

If your inserted image in a Quizmaker quiz does not display when published, please review the following pointers: 

  • Your quiz should be located on the same drive that contains your Windows folder (usually your c: drive). The default location is My Documents\My Articulate Quizmaker Quizzes. 
  • Check to make sure that you are using a supported image type. Supported image types include .JPG, .JPEG, .GIF, .PNG, .SWF. If the image is wider than 200 pixels, Articulate Quizmaker will automatically size it to fit on the question screen and provide a "Zoom" feature for the user. 
  • You should also confirm that your image is web ready (RGB). CMYK images will need to be converted to work. You can do this with a 3rd party photo editor such as Microsoft Paint. 
  • Your image file should be located on a local drive, not a network drive.
Let me know if you're able to resolve the issue. Thanks!

Hi Poornima and Peter,

Thanks for your tip and suggestions.

The pictures are .PNGs and the strange thing is that it is only some of them. Also the get invisible when i look at then in QuizMaker, i do not need to do any Preview or publish.

On the same slide i have other .png pictures that look fine.

How sensitive is quizmaker if i have a png in a PP file and then copy paste the image into quizmaker. Could that be the problem?

But if this is the case i am still puzzled that the picture frame holders are still in the quizmaker page....

Thanks for your great support,

Mats

Anyone know how I can enhance the image view in quizmaker? I uploaded a balane sheet as a PNG, also tried JPG and GIF and when it expands in the preview window it appears blurry (see attachment). Specs are 687 x 772 and it's 92 kb. I will try to get a higher quality, but it's from a screenshot. Any tips will help. Thanks

Hi Margharita! 

Have you set the quality of the image in the settings? You should be able to set it as lossless. In Quiz Properties-> Quality, you can tick custom and move the slider up to 100%. If that doesn't do the trick, another option might be using the zoom tool. Let us know if either of those will work for you. Thanks!
