Сохранение значений в другой документ на Lua с помощью Corona SDK

Я пытаюсь сохранить рекорды в таблице всякий раз, когда вызывается функция gameOver.

Когда я возвращаюсь в приложение и пытаюсь прочитать рекорды (они отображаются как newText, где текст установлен на правильный рекорд уровня.).

Но он не делает то, что должен. Я могу читать рекорды уровней, но когда я пытаюсь изменить значения в таблице, текст рекордов не меняется.

У меня есть main.lua и myData.lua. Таблица рекордов должна быть помещена в myData.lua, чтобы до нее можно было добраться со всех уровней игры. это мой стол

highScores = {  
    1,
    2,
    3,
    4,
    5,
    6,
    7
}

и я пытался сохранить/изменить значение с помощью

highScores[1] = score

Где score — количество очков в игре.

Я понял, что это не тот способ, и то, что я могу найти в Google, кажется слишком сложным для того, что я считаю простой задачей.

Что я делаю неправильно?

Это весь мой level1.lua — фактический уровень, который запущен и пытается сохранить свой счет в таблице highScore level1.lua):
