File too large to share

Every time i make a project and want to SHARE it it says it might be too big. it says im only allowed to put a couple MB on there, but i go and look at others and some are much bigger than mine, and theyre uploaded. i tried deleting some pictures from the slide show i was going to share, but it still said it might be too big. IM CONFUSED!!  yikes

Re: File too large to share

i dont know why this is but u might have too much sound. a way to upload it anyway is to upload like 5-10 scripts to the website, then you upload the next 5-10 in a new project and  so on. after that you put the instructions in the project notes. Download all of these projects and save them under different names, such as ExampleProject1, 2, and 3 then open one of them and under Extras you click import project and you do this for all of the projects.

Re: File too large to share

Yes, the limit is 10MB. The size is almost 100% determined by the size of images and sounds, not the number of blocks.

Re: File too large to share

Try going to the extras menu and clicking on either "compress sounds" or "compress images". It lets you make the files smaller, but you lose some quality.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.
