Re: No Project! WOn't Show Up! Help!!
Some projects might be too large for the online player (it might have a lot of sound or high quality images) - try clicking on "download" in the top right - projects usually work better downloaded, anyway. Hope this helps

Hey scratchlove43, Scratch projects run in a Java player, which requires some memory (known as heap memory) to run; if there isn't enough heap memory to run a project, the project will not run online at all (even if the loading bar is full). This has a tendency to happen with large projects or projects using a lot of images and/or sounds (see here).
Aside from the downloading option Wolfie1996 suggested earlier, another option to consider is increasing the Java heap memory on your computer. You can see the instructions for doing so here. Hope this helps you out!
