The animation state could not be played because it couldn't be found!

I am getting this error when trying to play an animation. Everything I find says to set the animation to legacy but I can’t find any way of doing this. Nothing I click on gives a properties view that has an option to change the animation type. Where can I find it? I’m using Unity 3.5.3 if it matters.

I finally found the problem. All the animation names were prepended with “Armature|” on import for some reason. So the name I was using was wrong. Using the correct name plays the animation without having to mess with any legacy settings.
