Help serious issue!!!!!!!

Whenever I try to save my project lately, it says its not responding, and I have to wait so long for it to finish saving. Occasionally it never finishes and I have to force close. What do I do???? Urgent help is needed.
P.S. my project's file size is at least 50,000 kb

Re: Help serious issue!!!!!!!

50,000 kb is way over the limit of memory when it comes to uploading projects. But it looks like you're trying to save a project, not upload it, which shouldn't trigger the effects you're experiencing.

A couple reasons why this might be happening:

Your computer is too slow and can't handle such a big project.
Squeak, the programming language that Scratch was programmed in, is low on memory.
Or you're project is much to big to save and Squeak crashes when you try.

I hope this helps and answers your question.  smile


Goodbye 1.4. I'll always remember you and treasure your awesomeness in my heart.

Re: Help serious issue!!!!!!!

why did no one tell me that i could compress the images and sounds, i did that and the size of the file reduced all the way to a little over 15,000 kb
