We found users follow a pattern: they decide what they are going to click on before they move the mouse. (Figure1)

Unfortunately the information in fly outs, rollovers, or dropdowns can't help users decide where to click because the information isn't available to users when they are making their decision.

Designers use interactive design elements, such as fly outs, rollovers, and dropdowns, to conserve space, make the screen less cluttered, and enhance the users' experience. We were surprised when users succeeded more often when they didn't encounter these design elements than when they did.
