If the camera is a child of bullit, you can access that component that way :

var cam : Camera = bullit.GetComponentInChildren.< Camera >();

(Edit : I usually program in C# but I try to write things in javascript here. But I mixed them both here, sorry about that !)

I'm pretty sure java won't help you here, it's not a language that Unity supports. In any case, the syntax in Java is virtually the same as in C#... In any case, you should learn C#. It's not actually any more complex than UnityScript (your programs will still need to work the same way), and it is a generally more useful language (because it's not a unique JavaScript variant that is only used in one place).

i tryed the script but it dosnt work i want to disable the camera anyone know how

Script Reference
If that doesn't help you convert this ONE line yourself, then I'd hire a programmer.

Or, do the smart thing, and buy all your programming assets from the Asset store. It's actually much cheaper than hiring someone to work for you constantly.

Code! To disable a camera that is the child of an object! In both UnityScript and C#!

var childCam : Camera = bullit.GetComponentInChildren.<Camera>();
if(childCam != null)
{
    childCam.enabled = false;
}

Camera childCam = bullit.GetComponentInChildren<Camera>();
if(childCam != null)
{
    childCam.enabled = false;
}

If you can't tell which is which, you need to do a little more homework.

ty but i got Object reference not set to an instance of an object i have a camera inside of the rocket (which is being instanteated) called Camera so why isnt it working

What have you set 'bullit' to? I'm assuming that 'bullit' is the newly instantiated object.
