See Peter Ent's blog entry on how to create "templates"

I would do it this way.
I'm assuming you're talking about MXML components. If you're writing
your component in ActionScript, then you can do pretty much anything.
Just override 'measure' and 'updateDisplayList' and change the size
and layout of the "DocA" component accordingly.
