Well, the most important reason for people to have the latest FP is the security fix(fixed in 9.0.124). But, Adobe does not supply that version's penetration as of yet: <http://www.adobe.com/products/player_census/flashplayer/version_penetration.html><http://www.adobe.com/products/player_census/flashplayer/version_penetration.html>
As for creating your own survey for your users, this would be pretty straight forward. Get the version they are using on load, send the version to a database, compare overall versions = result. Also, you could probably inject JS into the page the swf lives and pull the version that way so you don't have to recompile/embed & deploy a new swf. B.
