Most books say you should get around 4:1 pot odds when drawing to a four flush.

I'm not sure, but...

4:1 just happens to be (about) the probability of hitting a flush with one card to come; the 35% figure is assuming you get to see two more cards.

If it's an all-in situation where you don't need to do any more betting, then feel free to use 35% for your chance of hitting your flush, but remember that your opponent will have redraw outs if he has at least one pair on the flop. (If he has a set, he gets one 7-outer and one 10-outer... pretty significant.)

Otherwise... almost 20% of the time (there's the 4-1), you'll hit your flush on the turn.
