I did never try it the way you describe ... but somehow I doubt that it
will work properly ... the amount of light from the projector is very likely not
enough for a proper exposed scan (just imagine how bright a paper gets,
when it is lighted by the internal light).
The other problem is, the scanner does not turn off the internal light (which it
must do for a proper "through-light" scan).
Somehow I think a better approach would be to place all your film on
a lighttable, fix it in a way that they are flat, and photograph them with
a normal macrolens. Conversion to "positive" can still be tricky for
colorfilm, since you have to get rid of the orange.
