cool. i've never played with those features. thanks for the tip. i'm not
sure why you have to flatten the no_image copy. i guess i'll wait and see
when i get home :)

can multiple "projected_through { OBJECT }" statements be inside a
light_source, or would i have to declare a union {...} around all the
objects i want to use? Also, i'm curious why no_image is neccesary (again,
i've never used it). projected_through documentation states, "Any textures
or interiors on the object will be stripped and the object will not show up
in the scene."

of course, this all may become obvious later when i try it out.
