UIEvent
Encapsulates input event information for an event that propagates through a container and control hierarchy.
Implements W3C standard event handling. This object is passed to a function that you register to respond to events of a certain type that occur in a window or control. Use windowObj.addEventListener() or controlObj.addEventListener() to register a handler function.

Methods
Constructor
UIEvent UIEvent (type:
String[, captures:
Boolean=false][, bubbles:
Boolean=false][, view:
Object][, detail:
Number])
Creates an event.
The UIEvent object is normally created by ScriptUI and passed to your event handler. However, you can simulate a user action by constructing an event object and sending it to a target object's dispatchEvent() function.
