How to get blocks to display assets?

Questions about Thunkable

I’ve had a search and I can’t find the answer. I’m making my first app (an ESL quiz app) and everything is working great except trying to display images. I was following the quiz app blocks guide: Quiz App Blocks Walkthrough - YouTube

I’ve tried 2 different ways to display the right image for the right question.
1.
I have a database with questions and answers. I want to display an image with each question. I have an ‘images’ column and in there I’ve put a URL to link to the image. I used a block like this…

image
image698×113 6.25 KB

but that didn’t work. It wouldn’t load the image.

  1. I also have these images as assets. I named the images the same as their question number so I tried to use it with a block like this:
    image
    (because the question number is the same as the image name).

To be clear. When the student is on question 1, I want it to display the question 1 image. When they’re on question 2, I want it to display the question 2 image. I want to build it in a way where I can simply add new lines to the database without having to add new blocks for every question.
Please help.

The image component accepts a fully qualified URL and also it will accept the name of the asset in the project such as(image1.png)

You are using a variable named Question Number, what is in it?
If it is a number then it will be used to get a data from the table but will not be used to assign a picture to the image component.

However, if the asset name is something like (image1.png, image2.png, image3.png,…)
Then you can display the image using this
image

This worked. Thank you so much!

I will use the assets for now and later try using URLs.
