Unity 5 animation name + slicing problem

Hey,
I googled a bit, and I don't know how to solve this. It is pretty urgent, and I'd like to avoid too much workarounds, but perhaps there is no other way. Theres a small script that has problems with unity 5.

The script does the following:
- It uses Legacy animation clips, no mechanim
- animations can be drag&dropped into its animList
- it plays the random animation, and also changes its speed randomly.

var animList : AnimationClip[];
var actualAnim:AnimationClip;
var minSpeed:float=0.7;
var maxSpeed:float=1.5;

function Start ()
{
var rnd=Mathf.Round(Random.Range(0,animList.length));
actualAnim = animList[rnd];
animation.Play(actualAnim.name); //this is kinda okay
animation[actualAnim.name].speed = Random.Range(minSpeed, maxSpeed); //here is the problem!!
}​

It worked well in unity 3 and 4. However upgrading to 5, the following error is here (last line):
"BCE0048: Type 'UnityEngine.Component' does not support slicing."

Now it might be a stupid idea, but I think that since you have to put the name of the animation that should be played between [ and ], but that also shows that something is an array, that somehow creates a problem. It is just a wild guess, sadly I am not a programmer. But I totally need to fix this, as a lot of my assets use this script.

Additional information: if I comment out the problematic line (the last one), then Unity can run its automatic script updater. That changes a line:

(variables, etc stay the same)

animation.Play(actualAnim.name) becomes
GetComponent.<Animation>().Play(actualAnim.name);

(end)

Please tell me how could I fix this script so that it works under unity 5, preferably so that already existing scripts in a scene and prefab don't lose their animList property :/ Thanks so much!

 

Just replace "animation[actualAnim.name]" with GetComponent.<Animation>()[actualAnim.name]

 

Thankyou very mush. Problem dead now.

 

Hello! I was wonder how I replace "animation[actualAnim.name]" with GetComponent.<Animation>()[actualAnim.name]?

 

animation is a shortcut to an object (like transform). they took out most of these.
To replace it you just actually take out "animation" and replace it with "GetComponent<Animation>()" (no dots)
so

Code (CSharp):

1. animation[actualAnim.name]

becomes:

Code (CSharp):

1. GetComponent<Animation>()[actualAnim.name]
