Becuase with a simple reference you are calling a simple script, just script, which doesn't control any gameobject. So you need to use getcomponent to have a script of the gameobject and control variables of that gameobjects.

First creates a new class of type myclass.

Second one creates a reference to an existing class on the object and I don't think it'll work without a cast.
