Showing one image in a hidden group of images

I have a group of four images that is invisible until needed. I'd now
like to show only one of those images when a user clicks at a certain
location. I have no trouble determining when the user has clicked the
appropriate spot.
I've tried showing and hiding the image alone but, as the group is
invisible, the "showing/hiding" is taking place in an invisible object
so, of course, you don't see it.
I'm wondering if something like the following is the most efficient way
of handling this:
on mouseUp
set the lockScreen to true
put the loc of image myImage into myLoc -- for brevity later on
copy image myImage to this stack
put word 3 of it into myNewID -- tha's the ID# of the newly created
image
set the loc of image ID myNewID to myLoc -- same loc as the original
image
show image ID myNewID
set the lockScreen to false
wait 2 seconds -- or do whatever
delete image ID myNewID
end mouseUp
This seems to work nicely but I'm wondering if I'm heading down a path
whereby I'll screw up the carefully placed groups of images.
Thanks in advance,
Barry
