Way to quickly remove all onscreen objects

Is there a way to quickly remove all the objects onscreen without looping through all the display groups (and without putting them in groups?)

There is this function that was included with the Director class in the code exchange section. You feed it a group and the level with which it iterates. So, if you had all your objects in one group, you’d call:

local function cleanGroups ( curGroup, level )  
 if curGroup.numChildren then  
 while curGroup.numChildren \> 0 do  
 cleanGroups ( curGroup[curGroup.numChildren], level+1 )  
 end  
 if level \> 0 then  
 curGroup:removeSelf()  
 end  
 else  
 curGroup:removeSelf()  
 curGroup = nil  
 end  
end

As: cleanGroups( myGroup, 0 )

…to remove all objects recursively through the children. Finally, it would remove myGroup, as well.
