I want to take like several hundred random bitmap objects that get attached to the stage with attachMovie and flatten them into a single object. I don’t need to interact with the little objects after they’re attached, but I don’t want to remove them, so I’m determined to figure out how to like… merge 'em. :stare:

Any ideas?
