I'm not sure I understand your goals...

You want
- the image to scroll
- highlight hexagonal areas, probably ones under the mouse cursor ?

Tiled (and cocos) supports hexagonal tilesets. If you break the image in
hexagons (an "hexagonal tileset"), and do the related map, then you can
accomplish what I interpret are your requirements.
I would write a script using pygame (or search a minitool ) to partition
the image into the hexagonal tileset,
Caveat: theres two possible orientations for hexagons in an hexagonal map
('flat at the top' or "corner at the top"), Currently cocos supports only
one of the orientations.
You can see the test_tmx_hexmap.py as example for highlight tile under
cursor (in the repo or the distributed tarball/zip, subdir test/ )

Can't tell without code.
