Set initial Swtich State via JSON?

Hi,
I want to make a mute button that is updated via JSON, so if the player has chosen to mute the game, the next time he enters the game, it will remember if the game is muted or not.
problem is-
I don’t really know how to set the InitialSwitchState on my On/Off button …
I tried doing that with a function but It didnt work-

    local function checkboxSwitchListener( event )
        – Update the status box text
        if(event.target.isOn) then
            Data.Sound=1;
        else
            Data.Sound=0;
        end

                local stringified=json.encode(Data)
                file= io.open(path,“w”)
                file:write(stringified)
                io.close(file)
                
                print(Data.Sound);
    end
    
    – Create a default checkbox button (using widget.setTheme)

local onOffSwitch = widget.newSwitch
{
          left = 10,
        top = 80,
        id = “My on/off switch widget”,
        --initialSwitchState = checkInitial,
        onPress = checkboxSwitchListener,
        onRelease= checkboxSwitchListener,
}

            local function checkInitial()
                if(Data.Sound==1) then
                    return true;
                else
                    return false;
                end
        end

what am I doing wrong here?

Move the checkInitial() function above the switch creation code

#3

still not working…

goes back to being “true” each time
