Missing component exception in unity. there is no animation component attached but a script is trying to access it.

However, i have made not references t this component in my script. all i try to do is edit an animator float.

this is my script:

#pragma strict
internal var animator : Animator;
var dead : float;
var Health = 100;
animator = GetComponent(Animator); //assigns Animator component when we start the game

function Start () {
 
animator = GetComponent(Animator); //assigns Animator component when we start the game
}


function Update ()
{

	if (Health<=0)
	{
	dead = 0.2;
	}
	else
	{
	dead = 0.0;
	}

}

function ApplyDamage (DamageAmount : int)
{
	Health -= DamageAmount;
}		

/*function Dead()
{
	Destroy (gameObject);
*/

function FixedUpdate ()
{
animator.SetFloat ("Dead",dead);
}

and this is the error:

MissingComponentException: There is no ‘Animation’ attached to the “vincent” game object, but a script is trying to access it.
You probably need to add a Animation to the game object “vincent”. Or your script needs to check if the component is attached before using it.
UnityEngine.Animation.Play (System.String animation) (at C:/BuildAgent/work/d63dfc6385190b60/artifacts/EditorGenerated/Animations.cs:569)
Damage Reciever.Update () (at Assets/Damage Reciever.js:19)

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I DO have an Animator component, but it is commenting on the Animation component which i make no references to in my script.

Edit2:

The problem is exactly what it says it is.

animator.SetFloat ("Dead",dead);

This tries to set a field on the animator component, but you have none on the object.
