Yes, but. The first but is that you told us exactly nothing about your
environment, so the fact that it works fine for me under Opera on
Debian/sid may not mean anything if you run a different browser,
distribution or whatever.
The second but is that if you have a 64-bit CPU without LAHF support the
JIT engine behind 64-bit flash will emit those instructions anyway[1]
and cause the flash plugin to crash.
This is a known issue, reported to Adobe, and they have given no
indication of any response to it at all.

Footnotes:
[1] Apparently 64-bit Windows emulates them in software if they are
absent, but Linux doesn't, so this work fine for Windows...
