Adding behaviors to a webpage is good way to give visual feedback to the navigational elements. For instance, a hotspot doesn't give much feedback to the user that there is something to click.
A rollover however can provide important cues as to how the site functions. A rollover functions by replacing one image with another when your cursor rolls over it.
A swap image behavior is used to create a disjointed rollover -- moving your cursor over the trigger area displays an image elsewhere on the page.
