It does take a while to program and develop a good game. And yes, it is not the hardware but the software that will cost you money. I think Flash is about $600.
Not to point out everything, but Zophia was right. This should be in the Program thingy Mcjiggy. Well, back to topic. This takes time and money. You should take it easy if your should make a game. Don't hurry. Also, you should save some money if you don't have enough, it costs 600$...
