Default Texturing problems

Hello all,
Merry Xmas...
Anyways, I am trying to texture a can.
I am very new at doing texturing in AC3D.
Check out the attached .jpg.

How do I get the top an bottom of my can in the Texture Coordinator? ( I got the front!)

How do I get the texture not to reverse itself as it wraps around the can the second time? (see picture)
(should I just repeat my texture in my .jpg?)

Thanks all,
Grease

Well, as quick as I posted my question, I think I figured it out.

I just pick the surfaces I want textured while the texture coordinator is up and apply the textures to the surfaces that I picked in AC3D.
Is that the correct way, did I make any sense?

Still working on the reverse repeated texture, though...

Merry Xmas!

I believe I figured it all out...
Just playing around with the program..

What I did was just picked the front faces of the can and applied the label. Then, I picked all the back faces and applied the label again, I had to flip it, though, to correct the reverse.

This Bud's for you!

Cool...
GREAT program!

P.s. What I do is export my model into Papakura and make a true 3D paper model...
