When I put a bitmap on the diffuse layer and apply it to a selection that is vertical then the texture becomes stretched but not if I apply it to the top of an object. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I also have a texture which I want to be able to move about on the object until it's the way I want it, is it possible to essentially use the gizmo to move a texture on a face?

I'm also using 3ds Max 2008 since my uni wont pay for an upgrade
