Please share a complete, minimal reproduction that we could copy-paste and run to see the problem, otherwise it’s impossible to help.

In general, JavaScript has access to ux:Names in its local data context. So if your myEvent is living somewhere up the tree, you will likely need to pass it in to your “sub ux” as a ux:Dependency. There’s an article in docs about Dependencies.

As for a complete, somewhat complex example on UserEvents, see this.
