Remove from display group, leave on screen

How can I remove an object from a group, but leave it on screen;
group:remove(index) appears to remove the object from the screen.

Alternatively is there away to remove an entire group but leave all the objects on screen?

display.getCurrentStage():insert( myGroup )

And do that in a while numChildren > 0 loop for the group children [import]uid: 4596 topic_id: 10225 reply_id: 37302[/import]

Hmmm, thanks but that doesn’t work, but I can see why it should, here’s my code

display.getCurrentStage():insert(movingGroup)  
for removeMe= movingGroup.numChildren,1,-1 do  
 movingGroup:remove(removeMe)  
end

The display objects don’t seem to get added back to the stage before they are deleted from the group (and the screen)

Where am I going wrong?
