State charts can be (but don't have to be) event driven.  At least in the 
sense of having to respond to an incoming queue of events.  In fact I've 
done largish state charts for a test system that ended up being little more 
than a flowchart (when is a statechart not a statechart?).

An introductory book on UML might give you a start on understanding these 
techniques.  BetterState (and I think VisualState) is using UML as the 
basis for their statechart tools.
