Description

Problem:

Setting a fireEvent() on any UI element does work with V8.

Example:

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow();

var btn = Ti.UI.createButton({title:'here'});

win.addEventListener('background', function(){
	win.backgroundColor = 'green';
});

btn.addEventListener('click', function(){
	win.fireEvent('background');
});

win.add(btn);
win.open();

To Reproduce:

Simple run the sample code in app.js and click the button.

What has to happen:

The background of the window has to turn green

What happens:

nothing
