Here's one way to do it. There are probably others.

Select the shape and go to Object>Break Apart.

Click away so that nothing is selected.

Click on the outer shape so that only it is selected. Change the Fill color to white on the Fill & Stroke Panel.

Now, drag your mouse to marquee-select all of the inner shapes, being careful not to also select that outer shape.

Apply Object>Merge. If you don't see the shapes as black, then change the Fill color to black on the Fill & Stroke Panel.

Again, there could an easier way in SCAL. I'll play around with it and see if there is.
