Passing an action to a component created programatically

Is it possible to do this?. Examples in Ember docs passes actions as part of the handlebars template.

e.g: {{my-component action='someAction'}}

Here's what I'm doing:

var containerView = Ember.ContainerView.create();

containerView.pushObject(Ember.Component.create({
  container: this.container,
  layoutName: 'my-component'
}));
