Using enterFrame is pretty expensive. I'd probably listen for SpriteC's move and resize events in the common canvas and position UIComponentB; based on the event.currentTarget.x and y coordinates. The events will have to be bubbled up from SpriteC to UIComponentA to the common canvas. Use localToGlobal to find the desired coordinates to position UIComponentB. You might experience a little lag; so the two may not look like they are connected though.
