Hi Andrew,

I like to include numerical data hidden inside buttons, that the user 
then has to press:

With[{temp=Compress[myLargeData]},Button["press to load 
data",myLargeData = Uncompress[temp];Print["data is now loaded and saved 
in the variable myLargeData"]]]

You can then delete the code, leaving the button there. Put your cursor 
next to the button, Press Ctrl-Shift-E, and you will see that the 
underlying code of the button contains a compressed version of your data.

A disadvantage of this method is that the button itself can not be 
pressed "automatically", is if it were an initialization cell.
