Flash Builder 4.7 and 4.0 possible? - apache-flex

Hi I have a licensed Flash Builder 4.0 installed. Can I install 4.7 on the same pc? I need to test if the app can be compiled with Apache Flex.

Yes, simply install Flash Builder 4.7 to a different location.
Note that you can use later Flex versions in Flash Builder 4.0; follow the steps in the answer to Use Flex 4.5 and 4.0 in Adobe Flash Builder 4

ASC2 compiler with Flash Builder 4.6

I have downloaded the latest AIR SDK and compiler from here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html
But Flash Builder 4.6 doesn't accept it saying it's not a Flex SDK.
Is there a way to persuade Flash Builder 4.6 to use the ASC2 compiler? I am currently using the Apache Flex SDK 4.14.1 which seems not to include the latest compiler. I even overlaid the AIR SDK on the Flex one but to no avail.

migrate from Adobe Flex SDK 4.6 with AIR SDK 3.9 to Apache Flex SDK 4.12.0 with AIR SDK 3.9

I developed an application with Adobe Flex SDK 4.6 and Air SDK 3.9. Now I want to ship it to Apache Flex SDK 4.12.0 with AIR SDK 3.9 for use with Adobe Flash Builder.
I followed the steps list at the following links
http://flex.apache.org/installer.html
http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/Apache-Flex-4-12-release-candidate-td4888.html
http://lucamezzalira.com/2012/07/24/how-to-install-flex-4-8-0-sdk-in-flash-builder/
After I set the new configuration of the Flex SDK I get the following errors:
flex2.compiler.as3.EmbedEvaluator.UnableToTranscode
flex2.compiler.media.AbstractTranscoder.UnableToGenerateSource
Can someone help me migrate from Adobe Flex SDK to Apache Flex SDK 4.12.0 ?
It is resolved when restart the Flash builder

Does anyone know where I can still download flex 3.5 sdk?

Does anyone know where I can still download flex 3.5 sdk? I just inherited a project which was developed in flex 3.5. I am having trouble configuring flash builder 4.6 to work with it.
You can get it here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flex/sdk/flex_sdk_3.5.zip
Are you aware that latest version is 4.10? Available here: http://flex.apache.org/

Can I update the AIR version for Flex Builer 3?

I am using Flex Builder with Flex SDK 3.2. It has Air 1.0. Now since Air 2 has a whole lot of features that I want to use / study, can I update the AIR version of my Flex Builder so I can build air applications that utilize the new features? I have the 3.5 and 4.0 SKDs with me.
The following tech note from Adobe, http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/495/cpsid_49532.html, will help you overlay any desired version of Adobe AIR SDK on a given Flex SDK. HTH.
