Now it works... now it doesn't... a FrontPage ActiveX issue?

The main web page I use has an ActiveX animation of two graphics flying in
from the left and right upon entry to the site. Until today, it has worked
fine on FrontPage, but now it gives me a coding error when I attempt to
preview it. Here's the error:

Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Invalid character
Code: 0
URL: file:///C:/Documents and Settings/student/Local Settings/Temporary
Internet Files/FrontPageTempDir/pvw4D.htm

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?

As usuall I click yes, to that choice, but the animation doesn't run, and I
don't know why. As I said, this worked fine every time until today, and I
never touched the code for the animation. Here's the code for the header:

}

Most of those Functions are for preloading button images, there's no need to
worry about those. And finally, here's the code of the animation itself:

<td width="64%" height="1" valign="top" style="line-height: 100%;
text-indent: 0">
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; position: relative
!important; visibility: hidden" dynamicanimation="fpAnimflyLeftFP1"
id="fpAnimflyLeftFP1" language="Javascript1.2"><b><font color="#0073CE"
size="2"> <br>
<i>PHILADELPHIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH</i></font></b></p>
<p align="center" style="line-height: 100%; position: relative;
visibility: hidden" dynamicanimation="fpAnimelasticRightFP1"
id="fpAnimelasticRightFP1" language="Javascript1.2">
<img border="0" src="hometitle.gif" width="647" height="59"><br>
</p>
</td>

I've never seen anything like this before. Could it be a FrontPage
initialization error? Oh, I forgot to mention that it still works properly
on the new Internet Explorer 7.0, just... not FrontPage.

The file:/// means that the script is pointing to files on your hard drive
and not on the web site. Which means no one else will see it. Import all
files into your web first and then change the code to point to the folder
the file is in. ex:

Change:

<script language="JavaScript1.2" fptype="dynamicanimation"
src="file:///C:/Program%20Files/Microsoft%20Office/OFFICE11/fpclass/animate.js">
</script>
<script language="JavaScript"
src="file:///G:/AMSIntranet/share/scripts.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript">

to

<script language="JavaScript1.2" fptype="dynamicanimation"
src="fpclass/animate.js">
</script>
<script language="JavaScript"
src="share/scripts.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript">
