I saved my background at 72 ppi and it cam out at 2mb. How do I fix that?

file size really depends on your image, if it has lots of colour and detail then the image is likely to be large. If the image has large areas of flat colour perhaps a different file format with a lower bitrate would yield better results eg 8bit PNG
After I have created my game graphics I use a tool called <b>imageoptim</b> (http://imageoptim.pornel.net/)
Which gets rid of all that crap in the image file. As a simple test do a basic graphic and open it in text edit.
Compare the code between the Adobe app and the imageoptim version. Scary.
I can usually save a couple of MB on a whole game using this method.
