In the meantime, if you have a FlashBuilder installation, you can use
either=20
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/flex/sdk/trunk/ide/constructFlex
ForIDE.bat (or .sh) depending on your platform to build a packaged SDK
using an Apache Flex source or binary kit and the other pieces like Flash
Player, AIR, etc from the FlashBuilder installation sdks/4.6.0 directory.
