right, I'm only half awake on Saturday monring
The bubbles property is the second parameter on the Event constructor, so
your MyEvent changes should have done the trick. Sorry about the slip up
there, a lot of times if I'm writing something quick and dirty I would do it
like
displatchEvent(new Event("MY_EVENT",true));
your custom Event class is definitely the best practice as you get the const
for the event name to ensure listener's register for the correct event.
