Countdown to a date: Syntax and loading issue

I am having issues loading (browser) the JavaScript assigned to a text field in Adobe Animate CC.

The code is as follows

---------------

var specific_d=new Date(2018, 8, 24);

createjs.Ticker.addEventListener("tick"tickF.bnd(this));

function tickF(){

var d=new Date();

this.countdown_txt.text=Math.round((specific_d.getTime()-d.getTime())/(1000*60*60*24))+" days";

}

---------------------

The error messages are (console.log)

Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

and

Uncaught ReferenceError: AdobeAn is not defined

    at init at onload

Thank you in advance,

Andrew

Correct answer andreww97663747

So if I change the date to var specific_d=new Date(2018, 7, 24); It gives me the correct number of days to the 24 August

I have picked up the errors

1. ("tick"tickF.bnd(this)); - typo - bind
2. ("tick"tickF.bnd(this)); - typo - "tick",

The stange thing is that the countdown is to September and not August.

var specific_d=new Date(2018, 8, 24);

createjs.Ticker.addEventListener("tick", tickF.bind(this));

function tickF(){

var d=new Date();

this.countdown_txt.text=Math.round((specific_d.getTime()-d.getTime())/(1000*60*60*24))+" days";

}

Hi Andrew,

So is your issue fixed now, or do we need to look in something else?

Thanks,

Ankush

It's been suggested that

createjs.Ticker.addEventListener("tick"tickF.bnd(this));

is incorrect
