Components... how to?

Right, heres the story:

I prototyped my game out in TGB to the extent I was happy to continue creating it for the iPhone. I then set up my dev environment and got iTGB successfully deploying to my iPhone, then I quickly discovered I wanted to move my scripts over to C++ components. This is where the fun starts/ends :)

After a little bit playing about I had very simple component up and running (just sets an angular velocity on an object). I had to do this by a little trial and error and reading through example code, because there seems to be no docs on this? (Someone feel free to point me to them if I've missed them!)

My next step was to make this object spin in the direction that corresponded to the xaxis tilt on the iPhone. Earlier, in script, I did this by utilising a script global, $Gravity, as per the examples with iTGB.

I'm not quite sure the way to approach this (in a performance orientated manner - this is why I'm bothering in the first place) for components. Do I do something like:

function SpinBehavior::onBehaviorAdd( %this )
{	
	// Create the Component
	%this.Component = new SpinComponent();
   
	// Copy all of the behavior information to the component
	copyBehaviorToComponent(%this, %this.Component);
	
	new ActionMap(moveMap);
		moveMap.bindObj(joystick0, xaxis, "joyFunc", %this.Component);
	moveMap.push();

	// Add the component
	if (!%this.Owner.addComponents(%this.Component))
	{
		error ("SpinBehavior::onBehaviorAdd - Failed to register Spin Component");
		%this.Component.safeDelete();
		return;
	}  
}

ie, I bind the joystick axis to a method in the component? (Accessing it via a ConsoleMethod?) This doesn't feel right to me, plus I'll be having to call a ConsoleMethod which is crossing the script/code divide which I want to avoid for speed.

Any suggestions? Or am I missing the idea of how to use components in Torque completely? I feel I probably am, but without some decent docs on the issue I'm simply guessing currently.
