I'm certainly not the expert in this area, but here's how I would try it:

draw red square in offscreen gworld.
PICTURE ON
copybits gworld to record the red square.
change red square in gworld to blue (can you change it in an offscreen 
gworld?)
copybits the gworld to record the blue square.
PICTURE OFF

That should give you a recording of the cobybitsed red square and the 
copybitsed blue square.
