Why would you want to do that? Layers are all combined during .swf export

anyway -- they exist only in the .fla authoring environment. If you copy a

bunch of motion tweens to one layer they won't work correctly. If for some

reason you really need to reduce the number of layers, convert each tweeen

to a movie clip and cut and paste all clips to a single layer. Can't see

why you'd want to bother, however.
