Solution 3: gotoNetPage plus Frames
Use Frames so that Shockwave Movie is in a frame within frameset. Top page of frameset has name that it parsed. Use gotoNetPage call from Shockwave movie to pass score, etc. in URL and load new html page over frame with page with Shockwave Movie. New HTML page has Javascript to parse all information passed in URL from Shockwave Movie and also calls a function in top page to get the name. Advantages: html page can easily get name information so it does not have to be passed to Shockwave movie. GIF files for Money aren't in Shockwave Movie.

gotoNetPage does not work as advertised! It behaves differently in both I.E. and Netscape and neither allows loading the page in the same frame that the Shockwave Movie was in.
