what you need to do is something very simple. You need to add a script that at the exact moment you want you only put

animation.Play("open");

On the quotes you put the name of the animation you have.

If your case is a door I recommend you to watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDgvO7wtUMg&feature=related and the others videos to.

if you mean of put a GUI put something like this:

if (GUI.Button(Rect(10,70,50,30),"open")){
animation.Play("open");
}

Or if you want something like clic in the door and then it opens you may see this: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/28251/how-to-perform-a-mouse-click-on-game-object/28252#28252

Make a "close" animation and then a "open" animation. Then put this script on the door. It should work!

var player : Transform;
var dist = 3;

function OnMouseOver(){
if ( Vector3.Distance( door.position, transform.position ) < dist ){
    if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)){
       animation.Play("open");

if ( Vector3.Distance( door.position, transform.position ) < dist ){
    if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(1)){
       animation.Play("close");
}
}
}

Hi, How would you create a similar script for an iPhone application using touch control?

Thanks
