    A few things...

    $50/hour seems low for flash/flex dev. In NYC it's at least $75-85/hour

    3 hours is not enough time in my opinion to develop fully realized concepts. If you don't feel you can deliver what they are looking for, turn down the work. Depending how you do this, more often then not the client comes up in hours. Another approach is to give them high level recommendations but not designs.

    I agree with TResudek, if a client hires you to develop something, they own the IP. A way around this is to take a hit on your fee upfront to make a commission on each sale later. It's doubtful they'll go for that.

    Another thing to keep in mind is that developing something that needs to be scalable takes more time AND will require your involvement for future implementations. Usually a longer term relationship will be more lucrative so tread lightly if you see potential.
