Richard's advice is very good.

You might also try this.

on mouseup
	lock screen
	go to card "graph"
	import snapshot from rect (rect of grp id 126899) of window the windowid of this stack to myImage as PNG
	put myImage into image id 1033 of card "page1" of stack "report"
	go back
	unlock screen
	-- anything else
end mouseup

This bypasses the issue Richard mentioned and simply does a screen capture of the pixels in the area occupied by the group.

P.S. You may find it necessary to adjust the width and height of img id 1033 after putting myImage into it.
	set the width of img  image id 1033 of card "page1" to the width of grp id 126899   
	set the height of img  image id 1033 of card "page1" to the height of grp id 126899
