Problems with sprites jittering
I have a project that has a LOT of scripts, sprites, and things to broadcast. When they move, they sort of pixelate and jitter. Once I post it on the internet, will it still jitter? Is there a way to shrink down the file size so that it won't do this? Thanks!

Re: Problems with sprites jittering
Scratch will often run slow if you have a big file. Have you tried running it in presentation mode? In presentation mode, things run without lag and it's more like how it will be on the internet.
I'm not sure of what your problem is. Could you try to be more specific?
If you want to shrink the size down, you could try making your scripts simpler, therefore getting rid of a few parts of your script. If you have music and it's not really necessary for your project, you could also get rid of it.

Re: Problems with sprites jittering
A lot of projects I look at use more sprites than they need to. Sometimes you can make a sprite do more than one thing just by switching costumes and putting some IF blocks in the scripts to have different things happen depending on what costume is currently showing. Less sprites usually means smaller files and better performance. Something to think about anyway!
Why don't you upload the project and see if it has problems? You can always delete it if you aren't happy with it. Or, you can have other people look at it while it is online and give you recomendations.
