Usually, when concatenating items to the end of a list, it's better to use copy rather than set. However, when trying to flatten a list, you have to use set.
...Is there a better way to flatten a list than looping like this?

"Better" is somewhat subjective, but how 'bout this:

set variable to "zzz"
set a to {{1, "z", 3}, {variable, "b", "c"}, {5, "text", variable}}
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "%"
set a to text items of (a as string)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""


Cheers,
Joe
