I'll try to make this as constructive and useful for you as possible, so please don't take this the wrong way. 4 general suggestions:
1. Slow down, and take time to read the tutorials. Let them sink in and then try moving forward. Especially if your running with a deadline, this is the first, best way to proceed efficiently.
Then if your still stuck, post a detailed,
specific question.
2. Another great way to figure out a problem, is to find a map in the example vault that does something similar to what your trying to achieve. Download it, see how it was done, and reproduce it in your map. If What your trying to do isn't in the vault, there are many users who would be happy to post an example map.
3. Don't underestimate the 'find' textbox on the upper right of this page. Chances are if your having a problem, someone down the road had a similar hangup, and it was addressed in a past thread.
4.
I'd appreciate it if when I posted a problem, someone (if at all possible) could respond quickly...
Trust me, of us on this site are waiting, eagerly with bated breath to answer your questions. There is no need to ask for a quick resopnse, and if anything, this may mildly offend some people.
