No appropriate version of 'UnityEngine.Animation.Play' for the argument list '(UnityEngine.Animatio

Hello. I am trying to make a script that activates an animation on another object. But I get this error
Assets/MyAssets/MyScripts/PlayQuitButtons.js(11,23): BCE0023: No appropriate version of 'UnityEngine.Animation.Play' for the argument list '(UnityEngine.AnimationClip)' was found.

I'm not sure what is going on. I have put animation components on the objects and put my animation on them. Here is the script

Code (JavaScript):

1. #pragma strict
2.  
3. var sound : AudioClip;
4. var QuitButton : boolean;
5. var buttonBob : AnimationClip;
6.  
7. function OnMouseEnter()
8. {
9.     audio.PlayOneShot(sound);
10.     animation.Play(buttonBob);
11.    
12.  
13.  
14. }
15.  
16. function OnMouseUp()
17. {
18.     if (QuitButton)
19.     {
20.  
21.         Application.Quit();
22.     }
23.    
24.     else
25.     {
26.         Application.LoadLevel("Level01");
27.     }
28. }

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

there is no function Animation.Play that take an AnimationClip as a parameter.

see the doc
http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Animation.Play.html

If the clip is not already added in the animation component you need to add it first and then you can Play the clip by clip name
