"...firing an handler off the itemSelect event and then in the handler creating a new event and dispatching that to an external handler"
That is how I do it. What didn't work?

I want to be able to produce a bubbling effect where an itemSelect fires an internal handler and then and external handler on the parent of the custom component. I have been successful at firing both the external and internal handlers but they both fire during the targeting phase and the order is external to internal and I want to reverse that order. What should the design of this look like? I tried firing an handler off the itemSelect event and then in the handler creating a new event and dispatching that to an external handler but I can't seem to get that to work.
