ActionScript 3 :: Any Possibility To Bubble Event Up?

I want to have the parent of my class handle the event first, then I want to have the child handle the event. Is there a way to explicitly bubble the event up? I want to do something like this:
...
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, characterClicked);
...
private function characterClicked(e:Event):void{
// pass event to parent to be handled first
...
}
Is this possible, and if so how?
