Accidentally moving an object around the screen

Question

I am trying to animate UIButton for accidentally moving around the screen in different directions. Below is the work code. The button will begin to move along a random path, but then it just continues to move back and forth between point A and point B.

[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil]; 
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1]; 
[UIView setAnimationRepeatCount:1000]; 
[UIView setAnimationRepeatAutoreverses:YES]; 

CGFloat x = (CGFloat) (arc4random() % (int) self.view.bounds.size.width); 
CGFloat y = (CGFloat) (arc4random() % (int) self.view.bounds.size.height); 

CGPoint squarePostion = CGPointMake(x, y); 
button.center = squarePostion; 

[UIView commitAnimations];

How can I make it keep moving to a new random point every time it changes direction, rather than just moving back and forth?

Thank!

try the following:

    -(void)animationLoop:(NSString *)animationID finished:(NSNumber *)finished context:(void *)context { 

        [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil]; 
        [UIView setAnimationDuration:1]; 
// remove:
      //  [UIView setAnimationRepeatCount:1000]; 
      //  [UIView setAnimationRepeatAutoreverses:YES]; 

        CGFloat x = (CGFloat) (arc4random() % (int) self.view.bounds.size.width); 
        CGFloat y = (CGFloat) (arc4random() % (int) self.view.bounds.size.height); 

        CGPoint squarePostion = CGPointMake(x, y); 
        button.center = squarePostion; 
// add:
     [UIView setAnimationDelegate:self]; // as suggested by @Carl Veazey in a comment
        [UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:@selector(animationLoop:finished:context:)];

        [UIView commitAnimations];
    }

and just add a counter (int) inside the method to check if it is executed more than 1000 times if you want to stop it ...
