Is there a limit for how many statements I should put in the same function? I have a function that takes care of all of the code for a movieclip and it’s up in 16 “if statements” allready, should i split it up in more functions or not? I’m a novice, and never coded anything big so it might not even be that many, i don’t know 🙂
