I have looked at this and in fact borrowed the highlight code from it. I
think you might be right: I should just break my image up instead of trying
something too tricky for my own good.

I'm wondering if this is problem. I'm adding a layer as a child to another
layer.
class Hexagons(cocos.layer.ScrollableLayer):
is_event_handler = False #: enable director.window events
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
hex_resource = cocos.tiles.load('large_hex.tmx')
hex_layer = hex_resource['hex_layer']
self.add(hex_layer)
