I am having a lot of trouble doing something that seems obvious. I have a date:

Date.now()

I want it in milliseconds from epoch. I cannot get that to work. I have tried:

Date.now().getTime();

(Date.now()).getTime();

Date.now().getMilliseconds();

(Date.now()).getMilliseconds();



var date = Date.now();

var ms = date.getTime();

var ms = date.getMilliseconds();

All of these fail because apparently getTime() and getMilliseconds() (which I don't think is the correct approach anyways) are apparently not functions.

What am I doing wrong here?
