"Failed to execute 'postMessage'" error from Froogaloop via AngularJS directive
I wrote an AngularJS directive for vimeo videos with built in play/pause functionality using their froogaloop library.
It's works great! The only issue is that I get the following error when the page first loads.
Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'DOMWindow': The target origin provided ('http://player.vimeo.com') does not match the recipient window's origin
Am I initializing the froogaloop object wrong in the directive? Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

I recommend to execute the code in the onLoad event from <iframe>. Then you are ensured that the code will execute when iframe is ready for receiving messages.
There are plenty ways to do it:
- You can use jQuery if you already have it in your project:
$('iframe').load(callback)or - write an EventListener:
iframe_element.addEventListener('load', callback)or - use plain onload callback:
iframe_element.onload = callback.
Where callback is the method which uses Froogaloop.
But you have to know that some of those solutions might have some drawbacks on some old/MS browsers browsers.
