1. Call Multiple Functions as Methods on a Context
In the simplest usage, a list of functions can be called as methods on a context by specifying the context as the first argument and the list of functions as the second.
SYNTAX
Uize.applyAll (contextANYTYPE,functionsLIST);
2. Call Multiple Functions as Methods on a Context, with an Arguments List
In order to call a list of functions as methods on a context and with the same set of arguments for each call, the arguments list can be specified using the optional argumentsLIST third argument.
SYNTAX
Uize.applyAll (contextANYTYPE,functionsLIST,argumentsLIST);
3. Call Multiple Functions with an Arguments List
In cases where you wish to call a list of functions with the same set of arguments for each call, but where you don't wish them to be called as methods on a context, you can simply specify the value 0 for the first argument.
SYNTAX
Uize.applyAll (0,functionsLIST,argumentsLIST);
