Steven,
I don' think that UI scripting can solve the problem easily, as the
'Flatten layers' command is not available from the menus, but from the
Layers window.
If you are running a LAN with several machines one solution is to keep
synchronised the folders containing the Scripts/Actions (Adobe
Illustrator/.../Default_Actions.aia). Thus the actions developed on a
Master machine will spread to every other one.
I use that to be certain that I don't have to repeat Action scripting.
