(or even writing your own).

From Sasha Magee @ Adobe on the ApolloCoders group:

The events that end in “ing” are the cancellable events that happen BEFORE the displayState change. We added these specifically so you could cancel the event.

I know, one of those things that seems obvious after you read it, but I hadn’t seen it said before. Something to keep in mind when your preventDefault() isn’t working.
