Batting .000 so far. The only other thing that I can think of, is to move UIComponentB into UIComponnentA, same level as SpriteC, and bind the position of UIComponentB to the x and y (plus any offset) of SpriteC. Sorry that I couldn't have offered more useful help. It sounds like you have an interesting use-case. Good luck Aaron.
