AS3 — getTextFormat() gives null for all properties!
Ever had this happen? You have an existing text field, and you want to see its textFormat properties. So you do…
var fmt:TextFormat = myTextField.getTextFormat();
Unfortunately, all of the properties (fmt.font, fmt.size, etc.) of fmt are null!
This bug was driving me crazy. What I discovered was that getTextFormat() is basically retarded under two conditions:
1. Your text field is empty and has never had text in it.
2. Your text field is empty, had text in it at some point, and is set to use Single Line.
Under condition #1, you will never be able to pull any TextFormat data out of your text field, even though it technically should be there. In condition #2, you MUST set the text field to multi-line or it will not work.
What is the solution? Put an empty space in your text field before you use it. This seems really dirty but unless you want to dynamically generate all of your fields, this is the gift Adobe has given us :)

WordPress – How to Limit Number of Search Results
I had a heck of a time looking for a solution to this very common problem. Fortunately, the solution is quite easy!
WordPress, by default, limits your search results to 10 per page. When doing a normal query, you’d use get_posts(numberposts=99) to determine how many results appear from your query. You use a different parameter, showposts, for search pages.
So how do you modify the query to show what you want? Simply take the current $query_string (generated by WordPress’s header functions) and modify its showposts. Make sure to do this before the loop and you’re all good! All the code you need is below.
[php]query_posts($query_string . ‘&showposts=12′);[/php]

If you know a pretty girl, do not use Photoshop to make her pregnant. Girls do not like receiving these kinds of greetings.
