1: EMBED is not part of the 4.01 HTML standard but an old Netscape
element, OBJECT is the correct element

2: Again, if you look at the attributes, EMBED's SRC or OBJECT's DATA,
it is a URI to the resource *external* to the HTML document. Again, HTML
is just a plain text 'script', there is no embedded binary data.

3: If you want to have a single file document, HTML is *not* the right
choice, PDF, PowerPoint, Word DOC and such is what you want. Wrong tool
there Richard.

HTML using images from local directory has been very well explained so
far. However, you can go for SVG or scalable-vector-graphics in certain
cases to enjoy "dynamic resizing" and "embedded code" facility. But
then, if you think in terms of CSS, background and all such imagery will
be lost if you don't use external images.

I guess we are all trying to imagine what the OP really wants and why! Not
quite sure he has helped too much - but I may have missed his explanations?
