Update:

Thank you. Squeeks is right, you just need to go over to github get the files, froogaloop.js

Answer 1

this jsfiddle shows playing/pausing vimeo with multiple videos using the froogaloop api. so if you start one video all other videos are stopping to play: http://jsfiddle.net/nerdess/D5fD4/3/

i think that is what you were asking for!

Answer 2

You need to use the froogaloop library in order to interact with the player as you're using the iframe embedding and not the older, flash specific. They have example code on github and documentation for their API available.
