Yes, that's possible. Use
    pdf2swf -s poly2bitmap file.pdf -o file.swf
.

This is a flashplayer issue- it zooms thin lines differently
than Acrobat. (zoom into the SWF file and you'll see that
the lines actually look correct)
(I'm open to suggestions on how to improve that behaviour, however
 during conversion pdf2swf has to choose one given line width, and
 for that width there'll always be a zoom level where the line
 looks different than in the PDF...)
