Do you actually mean that Opera itself crashed?  I've not seen that.
Was that with  nspluginwrapper or linuxpluginwrapper? I removed the
latter when I switched to nspluginwrapper.

Flash 9 doesn't  work very well, but with nspluginwrapper it works no
worse in the native browsers than in Linux versions.

The problem with Flash7 is that it works mainly with youtube and
similar sites, and with irritating adverts. So if you don't much use
youtube, it's worse than nothing. It wont work with sites that use
flash for navigation.
