Unfortunately, only UIComponents can bubble events, because the bubble hierarchy is the display list. If you need to dispatch bubbling events from a non-visual component, you can use Application.application, look up the SystemManager and use that (it's how I usually do it), or you can implement IMXMLObject, and (usually) use the "Document" parameter passed to initilialized().
