Muzzle Flash
I have a texture of a muzzle flash and i'm going to apply it to an object, the thing i'm wondering is how do i make the object's rendering enable and disable rapidly while the mouse is held down.

Here is one solution. I imagine you want to start with the renderer for the flash graphic disabled:
 #pragma strict
 
 var speed = 20.0;
 
 function Update() {
     if (Input.GetMouseButton(0)) {
         renderer.enabled = (Mathf.PingPong(Time.time * speed, 1.0) < 0.5);
     }
     if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0)) {
         renderer.enabled = false;
     }
 }
 
              ok so the way i asked for sucks, you gave me what i asked for and thanks, but i think i should make it so that ins$$anonymous$$d of turning it on and off it switches between 5 or 6 different texture every certain amount of time.
Here is a bit of code that uses a set of images. You need to initialize the array in the Inspector.
 #pragma strict
 
 var textures : Texture[];
 var fps = 10.0;
  
 function Update () {
     if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$ouseButton(0)) {
         renderer.enabled = true;
         var i = (Time.time * fps) % textures.Length;
         renderer.material.mainTexture = textures[i];
     }
     else {
         renderer.enabled = false;
     }
 }
 
                 Here is a different script that displays a random texture rather than displays textures in order:
 #pragma strict
 
 var textures : Texture[];
 
 function Start() {
     InvokeRepeating("ShowTextures", 0.0, 0.1);
 }
  
 function ShowTextures() {
     if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$ouseButton(0)) {
         renderer.enabled = true;
         renderer.material.mainTexture = textures[Random.Range(0, textures.Length)];
     }
     else {
         renderer.enabled = false;
     }
 }
