To simulate a CLICK event you need first to dispatch:

element.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, true, false));

followed by a: 

element.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, true, false));

On the MOUSE_UP event the handler will then issue a click event (if the mouse is OVER the element, so you may need to set the mouse_x and mouse_y variables in the dispatched event.

You must dispatch a MouseEvent.CLICK event.

element.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK, true, false));

If you are listening for MouseEvent.CLICK then dispatch MouseEvent.CLICK. You are now dispatching MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN 

element.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK));
