i tried sharing my scenario through greenfoot but a message said "Publish failed: The scenario is too large" What can i do to fix this? i can't reduce the world size because i will have to adjust all of my code so my game will be right. anything i can do?

The message does not mean that your world is too large, it means that your scenario file-size is too large. This usually occurs when users have large (or many) sound files.

@qsapp.3, maybe there is a way you can combine similar classes into one using a constructor argument and/or an instance field to distinguish between them. Also, if you have large data files, maybe you can find a way to condense it/them and programmatically decode them. If using an extensive 'prepare' method in your world class, you could probably eliminate a lot of code by rewriting it (add each object at the final setLocation coordinates for each object and remove all the setLocation statements; create 'for' loops to add objects where possible; things like that). These are just a few ways to help reduce the size of your scenario.

how would i do that? say i have finish1,finish2,finish3,finish4. and my MainPlayer has different levels based on how each finish take the MainPlayer to a new level.

All of the finishes dont have any code specific more just something to put on the map.

You could have just one Finish class and the code in the MainPlayer class dealing with it like this: 
if (getOneIntersectingObject(Finish.class0 != null)
{
    World world = null;
    if (getWorld() instanceof MainWorld) world = new Level2();
    if (getWorld() instanceof Level2) world = new Level3();
    // etc...
    Greenfoot.setWorld(world);
}
The code above can be in one method as well (instead of using multiple methods). Please note that since I am not aware of the exact order that your worlds appear, you will probably have to adjust what world is set from which.

I said that the code I gave could go in a method. Replace lines 58 through 67 with the following: 
public void checkNextLevel()
{
    if (getOneIntersectingObject(Finish.class) != null)
    {  
        World world = null;  
        if (getWorld() instanceof MainWorld) world = new Level2();  
        if (getWorld() instanceof Level2) world = new Level3(); 
        if (getWorld() instanceof Level3) world = new Level4();
        if (getWorld() instanceof Level5) world = new WINNER();
        Greenfoot.setWorld(world);  
    }
}
With this method you can remove lines 21 through 23 (at least that will get you closer to what you want).
