Is it possible to dispatch event from class that isnt extended class of MovieClip?

I created my own class and put  
import flash.events.Event;  
import flash.events.\*;  
but when i call dispatchEvent compiler throws error:“1180: Call to a possibly undefined method dispatchEvent.”

If there is can someone provide an example?
