The first of your files is a class, the second is not, if you were to 
put "var myTest:test = new test();" within a class method, mtasc should 
valiadate it.

eg.

class MyOtherTestClass(){
	function MyOtherTestClass(){
		var myTest:test = new test();
	}

}



If you are using "var myTest:test = new test();" as an entry point 
(something to kick start the program), there is not reason to validate 
this in SEPY, just do it in Flash. If you are trying to compile with 
mtasc and not use Flash at all , I believe you have to enable entry 
point usage with mtasc, there is a good GUI that makes it easy. I've 
not really bothered with this though since most people using AS 2.0 
also have the Flash authoring enviroment.

To re-cap:

1. mtasc is telling you that the keyword var is unexpected because it 
doesn't exist within a class.
2. Use mtasc to valiadate your classes
3. Use flash to validate non-class code


Hope this answers your query.
