No, you can not yell "fire" in a crowded theatre (as Justice Holmes would say) as such instigates riots, the same can be attributed to flag burining. The 1st Amendment assures limited free speech.

What if done in a controlled environment on private property?

Public flag burning isn't a free speech issue, it's a safety issue.  Burning a flag on private property is a free speech issue.
