I tested your script and the problem is that you did not read the
manual ;-)
here is a script that works, inclusive exporting and deleting:
on mouseDown
hide me
-- So the button will not cover the group
rectSet
show group "kybdDN"
set the name of the templateImage to "exportMe"
-- Needed to export it later
import snapshot from rect ( the rect of me ) of window (the windowID
of this stack)
--you must specify a window, or the screen will be used
--Also note differences in syntax to your code
export image "exportMe" to file "exported.jpg" as JPEG
--Exports as jpg into the defautlFolder, beware of Apple resources!
delete image "exportMe"
show me
--Clean up
end mouseDown
