Why use a timer? It is not necessary to do it on exact time because you use a random. So in this case Event.ENTER_FRAME would do the trick for you.

[finally migrating to AS3] What would be a good way of going about having many sprites move across the screen at different rates? I have a random number (0-5) that I want to use as a coefficient for each sprite's speed. My thought is to base the movement off of Timer events corresponding to each sprite, but is there a way of associating a timerEvent to targets?
