Check out this blog post, HOW TO INSTALL APACHE FLEX 4.8.0 SDK IN FLASH BUILDER
http://lucamezzalira.com/2012/07/24/how-to-install-flex-4-8-0-sdk-in-flash- builder/ You can hand build you Flex SDK for FlashBuilder, you can use the AIR app, on OSX you can use ide/flashbuilder/makeApacheFlexForFlashBuilder.sh or, at your own risk, on Windows if you have scripting enabled and are 32-bit you can use makeApacheFlexForFlashBuilder.bat (edit line 92 and prepend "call" so it looks like call ant -f "%FLEX_HOME%/frameworks/downloads.xml").
