Random times for an event to occur.

I have an object and I need an event to occur at random intervals between 500-1200 miliseconds. There is an overall duration of 4500 ms, so this needs to loop throughout the total duration. I have the code for the event, but I don't know how to randomize the times at which it occurs. Any help would be amazing!

P.S. This is a psych experiment and I have the psychtoolbox installed.
