hi,
i have three objects here.

2. a 2nd wall with a window (solid with a mask) in front of wall no. 1
3. a spotlight in front of wall no. 2, pointing at wall no. 1i want to see, the light shining through the wall no.2 ‘window’ reflected on wall no. 1

Here’s a few tuts that should do what you want:

If I understand you correctly you want to have the silhouette of the window on wall number one?
You will need to set the front solid to “Casts Shadows: On” the rear solid to “Accepts Shadows: On” and the light to “Casts Shadows: On.” All of the other settings you can set as you desire, but generally you’ll want both solids to Accept Lights.
