Internet explorer is fussy about too many javascripts happening at one time.
Simply use the defer attribute to let the page completely load before these scripts ( or any other ) start.

<script type="text/javascript" src=http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js" defer="defer"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src=http://static.flowplayer.org/js/jquery.overlay-1.0.1.min.js" defer="defer"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/flowplayer/flowplayer-3.0.6.min.js" defer="defer"></script>

This tag is not W3C compliant. Is there another way to do overlays that is?
<button rel="#overlayvideo">Play Video</button>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {

// setup overlay actions to buttons
$("button[rel]").overlay({

// setup exposing (optional operation);
onBeforeLoad: function() {
this.expose();
},

onLoad: function(content) {
// find the player contained inside this overlay and load it
$("a.player", content).flowplayer(0).load();
},

onClose: function(content) {
$("a.player", content).flowplayer(0).unload();

// close exposing
$.unexpose();
}
});

// install flowplayers
$("a.player").flowplayer(http://www.myserver.ca/scripts/flowplayer_scripts/flowplayer-3.0.0-rc4.swf");
});
</script>

The reason you are having this problem is Internet Explorer. The problem is that it tries to load all the Javascripts at once, giving you the error. The best way to fix the problem is to use the defer parameter in the line containing the pointer to the Javascript. For example:
script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="../scripts/clock.js" defer="defer"
The defer command makes IE wait until the page is fully loaded before loading this Javascript. You may have to play around to figure out which script(s) are causing the problem.

Hope this helps...
