Need Help With Unitys New Animation System

Hi ive been messing around with unity and when i came to add animation to a weapon swing i couldnt get it do anything ive got scripts to handle it but i just am stugling with actualy animating the weapon
can someone possibly help me via skype or screanshare or step by step tut here? ive looked for tuts but there all on an older animation system and they no longer work

There are excellent set of tutorials made by unity on this.
