Swap Image
The Swap Image action swaps one image for another by changing the 
src
 attribute of the 
img
 
tag. Use this action to create button rollovers and other image effects (including swapping 
more than one image at a time). Inserting a rollover image automatically adds a Swap Image 
behavior to your page.
To use the Swap Image action:
1.
Select Insert > Image or click the Image button on the Insert bar to insert an image.
2.
In the Property inspector, enter a name for the image in the leftmost text box.
The Swap Image action still works if you do not name your images; it names unnamed 
images automatically when you attach the behavior to an object. However, it is easier to 
distinguish images in the Swap Image dialog box if all of the images are named 
beforehand. 
3.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 to insert additional images.
4.
Select an object (generally the image you’re going to swap) and open the Behaviors panel.
5.
Click the Plus (+) button and select Swap Image from the Actions pop-up menu.
6.
From the Images list, select the image whose source you want to change.
7.
Click Browse to select the new image file, or enter the path and filename of the new image 
in the Set Source To text box.
8.
Repeat steps 6 and 7 for any additional images you want to change. Use the same Swap 
Image action for all the images you want to change at once; otherwise, the corresponding 
Swap Image Restore action won’t restore all of them.
9.
Select the Preload Images option to load the new images into the browser’s cache when the 
page is loaded.
This prevents delays caused by downloading when it is time for the images to appear.

TE
Because only the src attribute is affected by this action, you should swap in an image 
that has the same dimensions (height and width) as the original. Otherwise, the image 
you swap in appears compacted or expanded to fit the original image’s dimensions.
