New grounds help...

Is there a way to make my sprite animation's file size smaller?
it's about 13.4 MB...and the limit is 10 MB.

Look here Optimize your Flash
If you need any help in understanding, just ask.

now my sound is WAY off...

Try putting your whole scene into a movieclip.

Or if it's possible, split your movie into parts and put those into movieclips. Don't forget to use _root.play() and _root.stop() inside the movieclips.

Why?
_root.stop() = makes the main timeline stop, but the movieclip keeps playing.
_root.play() = makes the main timeline play.

Hope this helps.

It may be exhausting, but it's effective.

tnx for the advise, but I found out that if I put the sound back two frames, it'll be fine.
