If you're not listening for the event directly on the component that will be
dispatching it, you need to toggle the 'bubbles' property so that the event
will will trigger handlers up the display list from where it was dispatched.
So in your case change your dispatch line to:
dispatchEvent( new MyEvent(), true );
