10 mb? more like 40,000 kb

on multiple occations i have tried to upload my final project "clonewars: starfighter" but it would not let me..........  Why?  i guess that 42,346 kb is more than 10mb!  *?  "what the heck"  as soon as i got creative and moved a few things around, deleted a few sounds and sprites, and got below 40,000 kb i was able to upload it.  if this is not a glitch, somebody please tell me.   i thought 100,000 kb was 1 mb??? no?

Actually, no, it's not. A megabyte is equal to 1,024 kilobytes. I'm not sure what the size of your project was, but I doubt it was 40,000 kb. That would be nearly 40mb.  hmm

It's entirely possible if he had lots of sounds.  smile

errr but even a big sound file can sometimes only be 1 mb. I doubt he added 40 huge sound files, I think scratch would crash if it had that much.

Re: 10 mb? more like 40,000 kb

In my Documents/scrtach projects file; clone wars: starfighter says   36,794 kb.  i am looking at it right now as i type.  go to my game, download it and see what how big it is for your self.  As long as i have kept the file at 40,000 kb and under, i have been able to upload it.  If what you are saying is true, maybe the file compression of pictures and sounds are the reason why i get get to upload it.

Yea, that's it,

JJ: He could have sound loops or songs in there. They take 30-40 mb.
