Slow down. Wink
Okay, first of all, it plays the demo because that's what it's scripted to do. If you go to data>scripts>game>game.js there is a line that tells it to start the map named "Demo". If you change that to the name of your level, it will play your level instead.
As for multiple levels, it really depends. How do you win a level in your game? Make it to the end? Kill all the enemies? Take over all the bases? There are many things that could cause you to win. How do you beat a map in your game?
Well the game is all multilayer so would I have to make it every copy of the engine has a different level or can I have it so the levels are in engine. Also That last post was really helpful but where is the data section you were talking about. What Im doing is right clicking on the engine and clicking on show package contents.
I found it but I can't edit it. It's opening using safari. Any other better program to open it with? also if I do edit it do I have to edit it later again if I'm making another game? And what happens to the other engine copies On my computer if I edit it? I'm sorry I'm such a noob.
Ok Now I can edit it and I did but it still plays the demo Is there anything else I have to do?
Read the dim3 docs and learn to script. ccccc, I will let you take over from here.

A good editor for you might be http://tacosw.com
I use Text Wrangler for HTML. It works great for me.
Editing scripts:
Right click (or control click) the icon, go to get info, look where it says open with and add the app. Then set it to the app you added and hit change all.

I reccomend Xcode or taco html edit, if you installed dev tools to your computer use Xcode, if not try http://tacosw.com like teh1ghool said....
(if Xcode is installed, it will be in the Developer folder in you HD folder.)

Of course you could just use text edit, but trust me, a code editor is ALOT better. Wink

Editing:
Just opening it won't magically tell it to start your level. You have to tell it what your level is named, find the line that tells it to open a map (it should be fairly obvious). Once you find the line, change "Demo" to "whatever the heck your map is called".
Thank you! It finally worked! YOU ROCK GUYS! Cool
But I have a few more questions. How do you add music. How do I change menu background. But other than that thank you.
Menu background can be changed in data > bitmap > backgrounds.

You can add music by putting the music in data > music. Then open the map you want the music in (From the editor) and go to the menu bar. (Top of the screen) Go to > map > ambient light-sound settings. You can add the music from there. Smile
Ok I changed the background but the music isn't being detected so whatever for the music but I have two more questions. 1. My game is multiplayer only so how would I make it so they can pick which map to play on and 2. Uhhh I forgot... I'll remember later. sry and thx for the help.
