To get scroll wheel support you can put a graphic behind the other 
objects in the group sized to match the group's formattedHeigh and 
formattedWidth, then add this to the group script:


on rawKeyDown k
   get the vScroll of me
   if k = 65308 then -- scroll wheel up
     set the vScroll of me to (it + 70)
   else if k = 65309 then -- scroll wheel down
     set the vScroll of me to (it - 70)
   else  pass rawKeyDown
end rawKeyDown


I used 70 there because it matched the size of the objects being viewed 
in my app; you can use any scroll increment that works for your needs.
