Why not use something less obvious in the url such as http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/script.pl?sessionid=001234aeiou then get
your script to chop of the aeiou so that you then have the users score?

if i do that, wouldn't the score= line still be sitting there at the end of
the url on the users machine? the key here is that i need to stop users from
submitting false point values (that is, editing the score= line and changing
it to 9999999999999 or something like that when they only really recieved
100 points). it's not really important for the data to be secure on its way
to the server over the internet, but i need a way to encrypt it before it
leaves the swf file.
