vimeo froogaloop API only works when website is hosted?

I came across Drew Baker's froogaloop API example page: http://labs.funkhausdesign.com/examples/vimeo/froogaloop2-api-basics.html

I view and copy the exact source code on a html but when I test it locally, the API does not work, vimeo player does not play, nor alert the messages

it only works when I host the html locally with MAMP why is this ????

Thanks !

Froogaloop doesn't work on local urls with file://. You'll need to make your HTML available via http. You could use the node.js http-server to do this easily.

Install from npm:

$ npm install http-server -g

From the directory you'd like to serve:

$ http-server

Many other options exist including MAMP, Dropbox's public folder or Python's SimpleHTTPServer

Are you sure you're adding the &api=1 string to the video?

I don't have a Froogaloop demo handy, but I did make a demo that doesn't use Froogaloop: check it out here.
