I haven't tried this kind of thing myself, but one trick that
sometimes works is the concept of delayed execution until end of
execution thread. Essentially, you tell javascript, "execute this as
soon as possible, but only after the current thread finishes". So, if
there's some jquery stuff that happens after your custom "setup" is
called, but you want to tack on extra behavior to happen immediately
after all that plumbing finishes, this approach *might* work.
So, in your "setup" function, on the last line, do this:
setTimeout(function(){ .../*your code to fire the event*/... },0);
See if that works.
