Anytime you Embed anything, you're including it within your swf. It may get compressed a little bit, but you're still embedding it. That means your SWF file will contain all of the images that you used [Embed(source="foo.png")] on. Using Embed is not like HTML where you have your images in a directory and then your swf calls them at runtime.
Also, use vector graphics as much as you possibly can.
