How can I pass a variable to a script that I'm running from another script as per example below?

Calling Script:

tell application "Finder"
-->   set theName to text returned of (display dialog "What is your name?" default answer "")
    set runAnother to load script (alias "Duo HD:Users:rwyoung:Desktop:Scripting:Running 1 Script Through Another script:Set a Word Script.scpt")
    run script runAnother
    set myTrial to the result
    tell application "SystemUIServer"
        display dialog "The value of property \"myTrial\" is \"" & myTrial & "\""
    end tell
end tell

Script Being Called:

tell application "Finder"
    tell application "SystemUIServer"
-->         display dialog "Do the following, " & myName
        set myTrial to text returned of (display dialog "What word do you want to try to transfer?" default answer "")
    end tell
end tell

I want to pass the variable "theName" created in the calling script to the second script. I could set up a temporary database containing the variable to be passed, and then access that database from the second script, but that seems long and cumbersome, and I think there must be an easier way. Any help that can be given will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
