You could see the light from the flashlight and here's why:
This is explained by playing with the equation E=mc2.
As the speed of the flashlight aproaches the speed of light, the mass of the flashlight becomes greater until it's mass of the flashlight becomes infinite and therefore an infinite amount of energy would be needed to propel the flashlight with infinite mass at such a speed.
Therefore the flashlight can't travel at the speed of light.
Therefore you would be able to see the light no matter what direction it's pointing or when you turned it on.
Sorry if this wrecks any Star Trek fantasies that you've been having.
