As I said in my email, the Xtra functions under the version 10 player only so if you have a D10 created stub then the Xtra will work with that projector and any movies it loads & plays. If you're the sort that wants to author in Director MX and either hope that things work against a D10 stub, or are willing to do all your debug work via a D10 projector then sure you could do as you described. Whether that's advisable is a different story and that's up to you to decide. This isn't a new story though. Let's say all you had was Director 8 which offers Flash 4 support. But you really wanted to use a Flash 6 SWF and Flash 6-specific functionality, you could blindly author and hope using Director 8, then get a Director MX stub-projector with the MX-era Flash Asset (it offers Flash 6 support) and go from there in the same way. So your technique isn't new or different in any way, each player version can load and play older files regardless of file format changes and whatnot (the greater the version delta the riskier that gets but even Shockwave today can handle DCRs from nearly 10 years ago).
