Froogaloop get reference of event function

Question

I am using the example presented in https://developer.vimeo.com/player/js-api:

Javascript + HTML:

script.js:

$(function() {
    var iframe = $('#player1')[0];
    var player = $f(iframe);
    var status = $('.status');

    // When the player is ready, add listeners for pause, finish, and playProgress
    player.addEvent('ready', function() {
        status.text('ready');

        player.addEvent('pause', onPause);
        player.addEvent('finish', onFinish);
        player.addEvent('playProgress', onPlayProgress);
    });

    // Call the API when a button is pressed
    $('button').bind('click', function() {
        player.api($(this).text().toLowerCase());
    });

    function onPause(id) {
        status.text('paused');
    }

    function onFinish(id) {
        status.text('finished');
    }

    function onPlayProgress(data, id) {
        status.text(data.seconds + 's played');
    }
});

<script src="https://f.vimeocdn.com/js/froogaloop2.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"></script>
<iframe id="player1" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/76979871?api=1&player_id=player1" width="630" height="354" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>

<div>
  <button>Play</button>
  <button>Pause</button>
  <p>Status: <span class="status">&hellip;</span></p>
</div>

<script src="script.js"></script>

I want to be able, at some later time, to add instructions to an event. Say, I want to add alert('123') to 'pause' event:

oldPauseEvent = player.get('pause'); //I made it up obviously..
player.addEvent('pause',newPuase);

function newPause(id){
    // do old stuff of 'pause' event. Namely onPause()
    oldPauseEvent();  
    // do new added stuff 
    alert('123');
}

I can't seem to be able to find where or how the events are stored in player. I couldn't find anything helpful in the API documentation in Viemo website.

Any help is very much appreciated!

Add an ID to the pause button. The Froogaloop api method getDuration() is returned as an alert.

Useful links:

Return duration from a function

Further explanation of callback method

Method: seekTo, which does not have a return value

$(function() {
    var iframe = $('#player1')[0];
    var player = $f(iframe);
    var status = $('.status');

    // When the player is ready, add listeners for pause, finish, and playProgress
    player.addEvent('ready', function() {
        status.text('ready');
        
        player.addEvent('pause', onPause);
        player.addEvent('finish', onFinish);
        player.addEvent('playProgress', onPlayProgress);
    });

    // Call the API when a button is pressed
    $('button').bind('click', function() {
        player.api($(this).text().toLowerCase());
    });
    // On pause button click, call getDuration().
    // Get Returned duration via _callback and alert it
    $('#pauseID').bind('click', function() {
        getDuration(function(duration) {
          alert('Video Duration: ' + duration);
        });
    });
    // Call the API when the pause button is pressed.
    // getDuration() is a froogaloop api method that has a return value.
    function getDuration(_callback) {
        player.api('getDuration', function(dur) {
           _callback(dur);
        });
    }  
    
    function onPause(id) {
        status.text('paused');
    }

    function onFinish(id) {
        status.text('finished');
    }

    function onPlayProgress(data, id) {
        status.text(data.seconds + 's played');
    }
});
