Tooltip with Rollover Menus

Question

I am using a tooltip widget in cunjunction with the menu widget and trying to get my menu rollovers to stay active while still utilizing the tooltip to bring up photos.
However the rollover state is zeroed out by the tooltip. The page is located here: http://www.hursey.com/los_angeles_photgrapher_portfolio_landing.html
You can see the rollover state at the "edges" of the secondary menu but when you get into the center (where the trigger is) the state reverts to normal. I tried doing a text overlay in the tooltip but that did not work either. Any suggestions wouldbe much appreciated!

Hello Dana,
As you are using two widgets here (One is Menu and other seems some composition widget), when the mouse pointer reaches the middle of the Menu text, it picks up the styling settings of the composition widget.
And as the triggers of the composition widget are blank transparent rectangles, they do not contain any styling  for text. that is why the color of the text is changed back to what it is in normal state.
It sems that you are using a manual Menu here. I would like to suggest a workaround here.
Instead of two widgets, you can only use one widget here and can get rid of the Menu widget.
Now, you can change the size of the blank transparent rectangles (triggers f composition) and add text boxes inside them.
in the text boxes you can insert the same names as you have used in Menu and can also add corresponsing hyperlinks to them (to make them work like a menu).
Also, from the  "States" Panel you can change the color for different states as required.
