Unfortunately that isn't a great option in our case. The sprite in
question is part of a graphical editor where dozens and dozens of
sprites may be on the stage and they only provide a simple graphical
representation so converting them to uicomponents would probably be more
overkill than watching the sprite's position on each enter_frame. If
you come up with any other ideas, please let me know.

No, you're right. My suggestion was more theoretical more than anything
else. You may need to change the Sprites to UIComponents; to get those
events.
