Mouse-Over-Stack vs. Multi-Zoned Grid

Hi Folks,
I’ve been working on a module that is giving me fits and starts in regards to the hex grid / hex numbering and multi-zoned grids.

If I create the map WITHOUT the multi-zoned grid, the mouse-over feature reports the hex numbers of the hex properly.  If, however, that hex grid is part of a multi-zoned grid, the mouse-over feature reports nothing (well, I put the word "hex" in front of the $LocationName$ text, so it *does* say "Hex" but that's all).

 I thought perhaps I could add a "mouse-over-stack-viewer" to the multi-zoned grid, but it doesn't appear to be an option - it seems that it's simply built into the basic module starter kit, so to speak.

 The game can work without the reporting feature, but having gotten used to it in another game, it would be a huge help if I could get it to work in this one.

System Data: (Though I don’t think that’s the source of the problem…)
MacBook running OS X 10.5.8 (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w/ 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM)
Java version 1.5.0_26 from Apple, Inc.

Many thanks for any help,
-Nadir

In the Zone containing the hex grid change its reporting property from
$LocationName$ to $gridLocation$ to get it to report

Hi Folks,
