Put the SpritePosition code inside the for loop, otherwise the forloop will run thru, setting t to 300, then 301 and so on. When it reaches 400, it will exit the loop and run the code following it. So by the time it reaches the setSpritePosition, "t" will be 400 and it will run the code once. I hope that helps you!

As Zoq2 mentions, the positioning must be done in the loop itself. Also, "random ( 1024, 1024 )" will only return the number 1024. You should instead use "random ( 0, 1024 )" to get a number between 0 and 1024.
