when i try to share a project my computer restarts. is it...

1.server problem?
2.scratch problem?
3.or something else.

Windows:
Your computer's Blue Screen of Death/STOP error setting is set to Auto Restart (no blue/debug screen). You got a fatal error while uploading and it triggered Auto Restart. It's a computer or internet problem.
Mac:
Tell your admin to disable Parental Controls.

Woo, even better minecraft clone! | I feel that programming is better than animation, because you can interact with games but not animations.

Re: I get an error when I try to upload/share my Scratch project

My Scratch Project is 54 MB! is there any way to lower it down to 10 mb? It won't let me even compress my images!

Re: I get an error when I try to upload/share my Scratch project

No, sorry, there isn't a way to shave 44 MB off of a project unless you take a very, VERY high amount of quality from images and sounds and compress the script manually (which would be very hard).  One thing you could try is to split the code into different parts in different projects and when you upload them online label them "Part 1", "Part 2" etc.

Or, y'know, you could put the project up for download somewhere else.

Re: I get an error when I try to upload/share my Scratch project

Actually, I had some unused Soundtracks that I deleted. The next day, it was down to 188 KB! It seems weird, since whenever I tried to compress images it would say: "Images compressed: 0". I don't know what did it, but I'm sure thankful for it!

Yeah, I've been trying for DAYS and DAYS and nothing has worked! I've tried compressing the sounds and images, I tried removing the music from my project, but it just comes up with the same message every time: "Failed: Unknown reason". I'm fed up of this happening. I love Scratch and I've managed to upload all my other projects. I have loads of ideas and creations which I want to share, but I can't because of this problem. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL MY WHY I CAN'T UPLOAD MY PROJECT AND HOW I CAN FIX THIS PROBLEM????????  sad

Nope. Ever since they've been updating the website, none of my projects have uploaded, so I think it must be something to do with that.

Nope. Ever since they've been updating the website, none of my projects have uploaded, so I think it must be something to do with that.

The 'Failed:Unknown Reason' error could be due to one of many factors such as high site traffic, security features, or connection problems.

Some things you many want to try out are:
1) Uploading the project during a time when there is low site traffic
2) Temporarily disabling any security features that can interfere with the connection (such as a firewall)
3) Saving the project, exiting the Scratch application, and then opening up the Scratch and attempt to re-upload to project to the website.

If you're still having trouble, try posting your problem in this thread for some more help.  smile

Re: I get an error when I try to upload/share my Scratch project

I think I have the solutions for Windows 7 and Vista users (maybe Vista...)
1. Right-click the scratch shortcut/application icon
2. Click Properties
3. Click Compatibility tab
4. Check box "run this compatibility mode for" "Windows XP/Vista" (latest service pack)
Test it out  smile

My alternate idea is to simply run it as administrator afterwards.

It's OK, I've finally managed to upload my projects now. Although, I didn't have to do any of those things! Computers are so unpredictable...

Thanks for the help anyway  smile

Re: I get an error when I try to upload/share my Scratch project

You probaly need a newer version of Java, to do this, go to www.java.com and press download, from there on, click run and install.

The Scratch server probably timed out, either due to a slow connection or due to the file size being large.

To reduce the file size,  you can compress the images and sounds.
Go to the "Extras" menu  and click "compress images."  Also try "compress sounds."

yes it could be that or you miss typed your user name or pass word.
