You can probably create your own class that will automatically add every event and route them accordingly, but it might end up being more work than it's worth, or less efficient than you'd like.
There's no all-event approach to stopping propagation because only a single event is stopped. That is, if you have a mouse down, followed by a mouse up, stopping propagation after mouse down will not prevent the mouse up from executing. Regarding your dispatching question, you can dispatch from any class that ultimately extends EventDispatcher. So, you can dispatch from a document class, for example. I'm not sure what you mean by having an instance of the dispatching object and adding a listener to the same object. You can dispatch from one instance and listen from another.
