Captivate 7 App Packager - Can you show animation for rest of project?

Question

I created a basic animation in Edge Animate where the user presses a button to show and hide an image. The image resembles a document containing information needed to complete fields throughout the course. I would like for the image to remain on the screen as long as the user needs it, even when slides change. I chose Edge Animate over Flash for HTML5 compliance.
Using the App Packager, I can place the animation on all of the slides, but as soon as the slide changes, the animation resets. So, if the user clicks the button to show the image on Slide 1, it disappears when the course transitions to Slide 2 and the user has to click the button again.  The only timing options I see are "specific time" and "rest of slide", but I need a "rest of project" option like the one available for widgets and swf animations. Is there another way to make this work with an Edge Animate HTML5 compliant animation?

Thank you for the response. I did create the same button action using advanced actions in a previous course. I was hoping that by creating an external animation, I could not only save development time, but also reuse the Edge file if I ever needed the same action in future courses. Now that Captivate 7 has shared actions, I will likely revisit my previous advanced action and see if I can reuse it.
