Mouse over menus in sofrware simulation

How are people dealing with roll over menus in software simulations?  For instance, when a learner mouses over a link on a webpage, and additional menu items are displayed (no click to display the additional menu, just a mouse over), then a click is required on the additional menu that is displayed to continue.

I am able to recreate this using states, but then the OVER state (which is displaying the additional menu) has to be as large as the additional menu being displayed, which is a lot larger than the original mouse over location.  And the click area needs to be only a small portion of the menu that is displayed via the mouse over.  I can “fake it” this way, but it really makes the learning invalid a the mouse over location and the click area are not really what is on the webpage/application.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanx

Can you explain more in detail because it is confusing to me. You can add a separate shape filled with the menu to the Rollover state, have done that in the past. Only the button itself which is locked in size and position will provide the rollover sensitive part.
