Thank you all who replied. I'll be working with Simon's suggestion
since it's doing
what I had in mind.
tell application "Adobe Illustrator 10"
set flatLayer to make new layer at end of document 1 with properties
{name:"Flattened"}
move page items of document 1 to end of flatLayer
delete (layers of document 1 whose name is not "Flattened") -- optional
end tell
However I have use for AVek idea of sharing a single Actions folder.
How do
I go about doing this? Can I put the original folder on a server that
all CPUs are
connected to and make an alias to put in the Illustrator app folder?
Will this work?

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.

Thank you for your reply but I would prefer if I didn't have use do
script since I need to
put this script on 18 machines and remember the do script if we get
more machines.
Any other possible ways?

Hello Steve,
there is a 'do action' commande, common to Adobe's softs that
you may
use.
In Illustrator register a new Action (in my case Action 1, in
folder
default Actions)
The 'listing' looks like:
Action 1
Layer
Flatten Artwork
Then use a tell block like this one:
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
do action "Flatten Image"
end tell
You are done.

Can someone tell me how you would flatten all the layers
(not knowing
how many layers) so artwork will be moved to one layer
in the
document?
Also please show me what you looked under in the
application's
dictionary to do this.
Thanks
