Maybe I'm missing something really fundamental then; I didn't think
Sprites dispatched move and size events and the documentation doesn't
show any such events either. I'll do some more research later, but
please correct me if you know something I don't.
Thanks for the response.

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.
