Technically, yes. You can create a bytearray and stuff it full of arbitrary bytes which may be a valid swf file.

But it's not going to be easy. I'm not aware of any packages to help you with this, although http://wonderfl.net/ does seem to compile code to swf client side. There's also http://eval.hurlant.com/ . Look up the swf file format specifications if you want to implement your own.
