Sprite not appearing

On the Scratch program, the game works correctly (more or less), but when I upload it, the monster that is supposed to be chasing the cat doesn't appear.  Does anyone know why it would show up one place but not the other?

(lesser issue:  I can't get the palm tree to act like the building and cheezy puffs, making the monster bounce off of it.  The script is the same, but the monster doesn't turn when it touches the tree.)

Re: Sprite not appearing

Some things work in in the editor, that don't work online.  Just post on the side of your project (in the notes) that it works only when downloaded.

Re: Sprite not appearing

The costume list of the monster is broken in some strange way -- it claims to be only 4x4 pixels and if you select it, the monster disappears. However, the costume is one from the sprite library, so I suggest that you simply import a new copy of that costume, delete the broken one, and share the project again.

Re: Sprite not appearing

Thanks for the help.  It's working correctly now.  Somehow I managed to fix the other problem, of the palm tree not acting like a solid object  for the monsters.  That might have had to do with the costume size too.  Plus I added another monster to up the challenge.

This is happening in my super mario galaxy test. I broadcast "galaxy start" but the ground and Mario STILL wont show!

Re: Sprite not appearing

in a comment paddle2see said "The reason this isn't working online is that the costume for the monster is corrupt somehow. Notice that it shows a size of only 4x4 pixels - which is clearly wrong. Try importing a new costume and I think you will find that it works okay."
if that helps
