Lots of things, but most commonly you set the Key to be a String and point the Value at some object. Then you've got something that resembles an array that uses a String as the element index instead of an integer. Like associative arrays in PHP or Lua.

You could use it like this:

Local m:TMap = New TMap

m.Insert("img1.jpg",LoadImage("img1.jpg"))
m.Insert("img2.jpg",LoadImage("img2.jpg"))

DrawImage(TImage(m.ValueForKey("img1.jpg")), 100, 100)

Not sure why you would want to do that, but you can :)
