If you do something like this, you won't have to minimize the stack, it 
will hide itself while taking the shot:

on mouseUp
    put the working screenrect into tRect
    set the visible of this stack to false
    export snapshot from rect tRect to file \
       specialFolderPath("desktop") & "/screenshot.png" as png
    set the visible of this stack to true
end mouseUp
