jQuery and Vimeo Froogaloop API

Question

I\'m building a plugin to WordPress and so far so good with the PHP library. But I am having some issues with the JavaScript API.

I\'m trying to use it with jQuery, and

Answer 1

One issue is that addEvent is both a function that you've defined and also a method of the $f(player) object. It appears that you're confusing the two. The addEvent method of the $f(player) object only takes two arguments, the name of the player event and the function to be called. It should be used as $f(your-iframe).addEvent('vimeo event', your_function);

Your addEvent function will unify events between IE and W3C methods. It's not needed because you're using jQuery. jQuery(whatever).click() does the same thing. I don't see any part of your snippet where you need it but if you do, I'd just use the jQuery method.

Also, the video player object should be $f(player) instead of $f(player).vimeoPlayer

Try this

jQuery('iframe.vimeo-player').each(function(){
    $f(this).addEvent('ready', ready);
});

Another thing to note is that any additional player events need to be added from your ready callback function. For example:

function ready(player_id){
    $f(player_id).addEvent('play', play);
    $f(player_id).api('play');
    alert("Ready!!!");
}
function play(){
    alert("Playing!!!");
}

I've had a hard time finding the info I want on Vimeo's Froogaloop api but after scouring Vimeo Froogaloop API Playground about a dozen times I'm starting to get the idea of how it works.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Instead of $f(player).vimeoPlayer.addEvent try $(this).addEvent.
