Saving numerous level scores.

Hi Guys,
I am working on a game where I would like to save every level score and display them within the level select menu on the icon used to launch the levels. I have followed the tutorials, and have successfully been able to do so, however I am trying to use a method that wouldn't require numerous attributes since information needs to load within an attribute (if I am trying to save the scores for every level I would need an attribute for each of them...Tedious!!!)
I had an idea but for some reason it doesn't work, if someone can spot what I am doing wrong it would be much appreciated and help all the others who are having the same problem,
I have two game attributes, Local Score and Score
Within the level select actor I have a self attribute self.score and a rule stating if touch is pressed change attribute game.score to self.score, which initially is zero.
I then play the game to generate a score, which is saved within the game.Local score attribute. Once the game is finished I have a rule stating if game.Local score > game.score
save game.Local Score with key score1.
I then created a load within the level select actor, which loads score1 into the self attribute self.score together with a display text self.score.
This should not only save the score but also pick up on new high scores, without the need of any more attributes but it doesn't...any ideas???
Cheers,
