You can select multiple graphic objects within an anchored frame, but you cannot select multiple anchored frames. You can also select multiple graphic objects that happen to be just floating around on a page, although the only place you might want to have such graphics is on a master page.
It sounds like you need to be thinking of selecting the frame before inserting your graphics (after the first one, that is) so that you can get all your graphics in one frame to begin with. Hope that helps.

Diagonal dragging to encompass the objects with an invisible border only selects the last one over which the cursor passes. Using the shift-click-drag method gives the same result. Clicking the individual items' edge, with and without any modifier key I can think of, gives the same result. These graphic frames are not anchored. They often overlap the main text flow frame, but are not fully within it. Ctrl+A grabs the main flow and any graphic fully within its text frame, but no graphics that partly overlap the frame. On a page with no main flow elements, ctrl+A grabs all text frames but only two of three graphic frames. I've tried both the smart arrow cursor and the dumb one. What am I missing?
