Good with Graphics terrible with action script…can anyone help?

How can I play a movie clip at random intervals?

I have a simple movie clip of a glint that I placed on the main timeline.  
I want the glint to animate at random intervals of less than 20 seconds.

Not sure how to script it with the random function…

Any help would be great…:ear:
