One way to restrict a visual effect to a portion of the screen is to use the effect with hide/show:
show grp 1 with visual push down hide grp 1 with visual push up However, this will not work with overlapping objects. You would have to make sure the affected object can be displayed independently of objects around it. Otherwise, you'll have to physically move the object (see the move command).
