I Sure Hope Not! ;)
I say, I sure hope not, because I use the winking smilie on a regular basis, and when writing to people I have no intention of being flirtatious with!
Often people use the winking emoticon as a way of showing that they're not really serious about something. For example:
Boy, you must be really dumb for asking that question. 
You see? I'm just kidding when I say you're dumb, and I let you know that, by putting a wink at the end.
Other people use emoticons at every opportunity, and sometimes when there really isn't a reason for the emoticon. Typically, these are folks who also use lol and other internet slang far too much:
lol.  You know what I mean? lol 
Now, my guess is that your friend wasn't being flirtatious, but it is possible - it all depends on the person. I guess the best way to find out would be...to ask her.
