How is this too big?!?!?!?!

I made half of my club penguin game, but then suddenly when I tried to upload it (as my backup from the numberous times i've lost it) it said file too big!
It's jusy 5 scripts, 3 sprites, each with maybe 11 backrounds/costumes!

How can I fix this?

What is the project's file size, (In MBs)
the number of sprites and bgs is relevant, but only to a certain extent.

Is there music? I wouldn't think of this being too big, but try compressing it.

Oh yes, I forgot. Music can be big. If you have four or five different tracks, that could be the problem

Not just big things, even 3 or 4 mini sounds can effect it greatly. I always compress projects with music to make it smaller and less laggy online.

Re: How is this too big?!?!?!?!

Hmm, the club penguin images do use up a lot of different colours and pixels in their images. This could probably bump up the size a little bit, but I don't think it would be enough to exceed the file limit...

Re: How is this too big?!?!?!?!

I have NO music.

At all.

I didnt add any cuz I knew the scripts would be sorta big, but I've seen worse, like RHY's Line2 engine, and cant even download his first...

Then you shouldn't be having a real problem. Maybe try again.
