Hopefully I'm understanding your question correctly. Are you only using an .oam file to try with the interaction? I saw your description about using the HTML file. You can publish that EDGE for web and it will have all the needed .js and images packaged into a folder. You can then embed the HTML file created through Web Content and use it as a local HTML, rather than needing online connection. I'm not sure if this will work for the smooth slider bar, but I've been able to use it for basic .js show and hide. Also, you'd have to be sure to allow space on that page swiping to others.
I hope this helps.
