Hi Newcomer to Objective C and trying to translate concepts and sytax I know from ecmascript based languages to Objective C.

Is it proper to think of the .h header file in ObjectiveC as an Interface in Actionscript?

Lets take the following code example in Objective C which calls a method containing 2 arguments

[myTextObject setString: @"Hello World" color: kWhiteColor];

In Actionscript(or javascript) would this be the same as calling 2 accessor methods on 'myTextObject'? ie

myTextObject.setString("Hello World")
myTextObject.color(kWhiteColor);
