Re: how to find out the size of your project

Well, if you have it on your computer, use these steps:

Windows-
right click the file
select "properties"
It will give you a window with the size

Mac-
control+click the file
select "get info"
It will give you a window with the size.

If it's online, you can just download it and then use those steps.

Re: how to find out the size of your project

thanks. my project is like 17.5 mb, and the limit is 10 to upload the projects... it's an ipod and it has 6 songs i think, so is there any way to make the project smaller?

You can try compressing the sounds and images (extras > compress sounds or extras > compress images)

wow! It's not normally that you compress songs to lowest and still come out really high. One of my games has 3 songs and who only knows how small the file is

The only reason I can think of is that the 3 second song is a high quality file; therefore takes up more space.
