Thanks for the note and it is encouraging to hear how useful it is.

I am pretty busy these days, but I will make a note of the request for when I have time to update again.

I found a way to eliminate the “Yb” phantom letters.  Go into the questions folder and open each of the column categories.txt files (column 1-categories.txt; column2-categories.txt; etc.) and enter two blank spaces (spacebar twice) and save the files.  This fixed the problem for me.

You're awesome bro! Thanks!!!

I have problems with images on questions. I'm using <img src='Images/Pregunta1.jpg' />
which "Images" is a directory and "Pregunta1.jpg" my image. But it's not showing. Am I doing something wrong?

[pftq]

Can you attach a zip that only contains your questions and Images folders? I'll take a look.

[gsaltosb]

Here is my questions folder... It includes the image in different formats and included and not included in the folder.
I've tried everything... thanks for your help.

[pftq]

The Images folder should be outside the questions folder.

[gsaltosb]

Still not working.

See attachment below.  Some of the filename references were also misspelled (.jpeg instead of .jpg).

Random/odd question.  First of all, thanks for building this app...it looks great.  I have a quick problem that I'm hoping you can help me with.  I'm trying to run the app on my MacBook pro.  I've downloaded everything and try to open the .app.  I receive the prompt to go Windowed or Full Screen, but no matter which one I select, the windowed screen turns black and nothing happens.  I tried the same thing on my wife's Mac and it worked fine.  I have disabled antivirus, removed the JDK that I had installed, and confirmed that we were both running the same Adobe Flash version.  I'm pretty much a Mac novice, so wanted to see if anybody had advice on where I could look next or what could be causing this behavior.

[pftq]

It shouldn't matter what flash version you have installed because the program has its own Flash player built-in.  Can you double-check that the setup file is next to the .app and all folders are the same? That would be the reason it doesn't progress (can't find files).  Feel free to screenshot the folder directory and I can spotcheck.

[Faunte]

This is the screenshot of the folder.  The folder structure is the same on my wife's computer as it is on mine...I'm scratching my head here.

Did the newer version of Jeopardy Maker work by any chance? There's a 1.01 version that was compiled with a newer version of Flash (but breaks some older versions of Mac).

The program is fantastic to use!! Thank you very much! However, I am an ignorant user. I do not know how to insert pictures next to questions (eg, What's this? "Picture" here). Could you, please, explain step-by-step for a layman how and where to write the necessary changes?  You have answered, but I do not understand, although tried all kinds of options - in vain.

[pftq]

Hi can you attach the questions file you have? Easier to just do it and
send it back as example

[Rene]

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I am attaching the question file and the pictures. How to insert the pictures into the game?
