random timer

[SwirlyKing]

I feel like this should be really simple, but I cannot figure out how to get a function to run at random intervals in AS3. Would someone mind showing me the most stripped-down version of a random interval timer?

package
{
	import flash.display.Sprite;
	import flash.events.TimerEvent;
	import flash.utils.Timer;
	
	public class Main extends flash.display.Sprite
	{
		private var timer:Timer;
		private var maxDelay:int = 2000;
		
		public function Main():void
		{
			timer = new Timer(getRandDelay());
			timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, doSomething);
			timer.start();
		}
		
		private function getRandDelay():Number{
			return Math.random()*maxDelay;
		}
		
		private function doSomething(evt:TimerEvent):void{
			timer.delay = getRandDelay();
			trace("bloop!, delay:"+timer.delay);
		}
		
		
	}
}

thank you, that's exactly what I needed!
