Is main_site the name of the instance? It doesn't seem like it if you are getting that error. Does it also import EventDispatcher or at least, extend it? Depending on where the code sits, you could do: this.addEventListener instead of main_site - main_site should be an instance name - you cannot listen to events from non-instances.
