Maya question - Applying materials to specefic faces, not working?

[Herpes Melodie]

Heya all,

As the topic says, I am trying to apply materials to specefic faces. What I do is, 1) go to componement type 2) choose the "select faces" option 3) select some faces of my geometry 4) go to hypershade, hold right mouse button and choose "assign material to selection" 

Instead of getting my material assigned to the selection (the faces) my whole object receives the material D:

What am I doing wrong?

Nevermind it, works again. Not sure what the problem was but I restarted Maya, opened the same scene and everything works.
