you can find out the exact flash player version *you* have
installed by
going here:

In terms of what you would put in the writeFlash command,
that defines
the minimum version you require the user to have and that
depends on
what content you have in your movie. Flash generally only
allows you to
publish for a major version (e.g. 6, 7, 8) but there are some
exceptions:
If publishing for 6 you also have the option of 'optimising
for 6.0.65.0
as this player release had some speed improvements you could
take
advantage of - but swfs optimized for that version couldn't
be played in
lower versions (e.g. 6.0.47.0).
Similarly there are occasionally features that require
specific versions
again, for example the Delegate class only works in flash
player
6.0.79.0 or higher.
On the whole, just use the lowest major flash version, e.g.
if
publishing for 6 - 6.0.47.0, if 7 - 7.0.19.0 and if 8 -
8.0.24.0
