I don't get it...

There's something I don't get at all in the Scratch program. I made those 3 or 2--I forget--Guitar Hero 4 projects first at school. I sent it on e-mail to home so I could work more on it. When I got tired, I just decided to share it on the internet, because I didn't wanna e-mail it again back and forth, back and forth. But I couldn't. It says it's too big of a file, or that I have to compress. I tried compressing it, but it still didn't work. I try at school--with compressing it, it works. But how come it doesn't work at home if it works at school? Does that mean I have only 45 minutes to compress it at school--some days (even worse!)--and it won't even work at home for 5 hours? You have got to be kidding me! (For the 45 minute sentence, I have math class every day at school (but if we have MCA tests or field trips or something, we skip it, but cross out MCA on your list because we already did all of it already), and sometimes we do Scratch 15 minutes later after math class starts in the computer lab. But DANG IT, we don't do Scratch until the LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL! So I have to work on it at home but can't even send it to the internet? Come on!) Help, please?

Re: I don't get it...

I think your problem is that your project is larger than 10 megabytes which is size limit for uploading projects. Music and detailed pictures are known to increase the file size so try to compress or remove them.

Re: I don't get it...

But the only thing I don't get is that it works at school, not at home.

Re: I don't get it...

It may be because you first compressed it at home and then compressed it again at school, thus decreasing the file size by even more.

Re: I don't get it...

But how would I get the already compressed from home project at school? Remember? I can't send my Guitar Hero project to the internet from home. I also forgot to mention that I tried compressing it a million times at home and STILL didn't work.

Hrm... I do not know the answer. Perhaps you ought to contact the Scratch team??
