Visuals demolished upon upload

I spent a good amount of time making the first project for my new account. Upon upload, I immediately notice the visuals are completely ruined online. Not just from the compressing, but they're not even the same size. It only works in flash player now and the layering and most of the coding doesn't work either. I re-uploaded twice and tried from different browsers, still not working right. This never happened to me before, anyone know why it did this time?

Re: Visuals demolished upon upload

When you share the project, on the window where you are supposed to enter your username and password, there is a box in the lower left corner that says Compress sounds and images. It should NOT be checked when you click OK. I hope this helps.

Wes64 is correct, however, another good tip is to put the set size to ()  at the beginning.  I know you have to do that with pen color, or else it always starts out blue. I'm not sure, but you should try that and what Wes64 said.

I tried both compressed and uncompressed, both completely destroy the graphics. They're .JPG files, I don't know if Scratch fully supports them.

Can you share the project now so I can see?

Tip 2: Don't use .jpg/.jpeg files.

Scratch's graphics aren't exactly very good.

You can save them as .gif or .png or even .bmp but NOT .jpg/.jpeg

.bmp  or .gif.
Don't try to use partial transparency.
