Can you lock the screen, place the stack back inside, take the snapshot, and then put the stack outside again?

For example, while apparently I can take a snapshot of something that isn't open and isn't visible (the docs say so!), I don't seem to be able to take a snapshot of an object whose loc is outside the visible area. For example I have an image which I've placed out of site at 2000,2000 based on a quite small stack, say 800 by 600 pixels. I'm used to this technique for hiding stuff from the user, and also for working with objects larger than the visible area - in this case, I am doing both of these. Now I want to tinker with the image. The statement import snapshot from rect 1375,2592,1749,2625 of this stack compiles OK but results in an execution error. Experiments seem to show that a statement of the same form restricted to the bounds of the stack's window work OK. What I'm actually trying to do is to create a composite image at screen resolution, by overlaying images on top of one another and then taking a snapshot of the resultant screen area, but all without the user seeing anything. My experiments appear to show that I can do it while the various objects are visible (in the visible area) but not otherwise. Can anyone explain how this could be done?
