Then there has to be something wrong with this swf. Corrupt in some way.
I played it back in a browser, it doesn't appear to work properly.

If the embedded swf is corrupt, wrapping it in a container will
not help it be uncorrupted!

IncidentallY..

Shouldn't,

        .swf movie "thisland.swf"

actually be,

        .swf movie "this-land.swf"

Having,

        .flash filename="this-land.swf"

will wipe out your original swf file, since they both have the
*same* file name.

HTH.
