Unable to use gsap.utils.random function to generate random timeline duration.

Just trying to get a random interval for each image, but can't seem to figure what I'm doing wrong..

I noticed a few problems: 

1. You were trying to set a duration on a timeline, but timelines are just wrappers for other tweens/timelines, so their duration is determined by their contents. 
2. You were trying to make the interval between 1000 and 2000 seconds (a long time!) 
3. Since you didn't populate the timeline with anything, it had no duration at all, thus onRepeat is pretty meaningless.

I assume you were looking for something more like this?:

Just so you know, gsap.utils.random() is magical in that you can give it an Array and it'll automatically return a random element from that Array, so you don't have to manage the index.

They were left over from when I was using setInterval! Totally missed it... twice!

Cheers Jack, and thanks for the additional info.
