Ahoy hoy!

I have drawn a circle with rays on the stage and made it a movie clip in Flash MX. I can make the MC rotate by creating a function. However, when I call the function in a setInterval, I want the MC to rotate with random speed. I did it this way but to no avail:

setInterval(rotateme, random(2000));

I want the MC rotation to randomly speed up down to zero and slow down to 2000.

Any ideas?
