Saving/Loading data

the problem is not the name of your file, score_data. Somewhere else in your script you have a variable named open. You'll just need to give that a new name

Ah yes, I looked around for 'open' and it seems I had forgotten that I had a text object outside of the script so it was on the stage. No wonder I was having so much trouble finding it... thanks for the help!
