Its really required to have a mouse hover effect for the prototype mode.
It will be really helpful to the show mouseovers in web mocks.

this is a basic requirement we all need (in my case, for buttons/interactive areas)

Many new tools only consider mobile or touch interactions. In enterprise we still need to accommodate for traditional desktop interactions like Axure does. Will you include these?

I.E. Hovers, rollovers, focus states, and functional widgets like drop downs, cascading menus, expand collapse sections, etc.

Agree 100%! Would love to flesh out hovers / transitions to show clients and our development team.

Agreed we need hover one effects etc. and way more timing/transition options. Cheers!

Yess, we need states similar to fireworks, so I dont have to link a whole artboard if I just want to show a dropdown menu, Fireworks did it great, you should put it in here

I am shocked to see that the prototyping is limited to click through screen links. Adobe, please flesh this out so we can present true to experience builds!

Yes, needed feature for prototypes. Just linking artboard to artboard is a bit weak.

It would be good to be able to add hover/tap/click states to elements so these can be shown in Preview Mode.

Trigger Target switch on hover as well as click, to add functionality for hover states in web apps.
