Subject: Random position inside mask

I'm looking for a way to randomly position a bunch of layers inside any given shape.  The shape could be either an image or a mask.

Does anyone know of a script that can do this that's already around?

I can do it with expressions but the only way I can think of is to use a loop, and check the source layer using the 'sampleImage' function and keep looping random values until one works.  This will be a very slow process?

Doing it with a script may be just as slow but a lot easier to work with as it only needs to be run once.

Any other suggestions?
