   The first idea that comes to my mind is to mess with *multiple* properties 
at once, locking/unlocking the screen to conceal the workings. 'Flattening' a 
field should work somewhat thus:

  lock screen
  set the threeD of field "Fred" to false
  set the borderWidth of field "Fred" to 1
  unlock screen

   And, of course, change everything back to its former status when you want 
to un-flatten the field, like so:

  lock screen
  set the threeD of field "Fred" to true
  set the borderWidth of field "Fred" to 2 # or whatever the standard width is
  unlock screen

   Hope this helps...
