When I wrote the ActionScript2 parser inside as2api, I didn't understand
that some things that appear to be 'keywords' (e.g. "var"), are in fact
allowed to appear as 'identifiers' (identifiers are things like the
names of classes, variables and methods).

So in this case, I suspect that you have a variable or method named
'as', and this is confusing as2api.  Sorry about that!

There are probably a bunch of things that should be removed from the
Keywords section over here:

  http://svn.badgers-in-foil.co.uk/as2api/trunk/as2api/lib/parse/aslexer.rb


One rather poor workaround for the problem is of course to rename the
part of your Application API which uses the text 'as' :)
