How to create a custom seekTo player interface with vimeo embedded code?

I have a site with a vimeo video player that I am embedding using Vimeo's PHP example.

External control buttons on the site need to seek to different "tracks" inside the Vimeo video, that is inside an iframe.

Use postMessage to pass JSON string data back to the iframe.

function skipTo(time) {
    var f = jQuery("#vid_player iframe");
    var url = f.attr('src');
    var data = {method: "seekTo", value: time};
    f[0].contentWindow.postMessage(JSON.stringify(data), url);
}

See API documentation that was somewhat helpful, but at least has a list of other methods you may need to utilize: http://api-portal.anypoint.mulesoft.com/vimeo/api/vimeo-javascript-api/docs/reference
