Am I missing an import?

[mcmuffy]

The following line of code is throwing an error:
var tempTextFormat:TextFormat = myTextArea.getTextFormat(myTextArea.selectionBegin Index, myTextArea.selectionEndIndex);

Call to a possibly undefined method getTextFormat

Am I missing a library (I have flash.text.textformat included) or am I doing something wrong?

Cheers

Can you post the full error?

I'm assuming myTextArea is a TextArea? Only TextFields have the getTextFormat method.

Try myTextArea.textField.getTextFormat instead.
