Just schedule two different tasks on one timer, or instantiate two different timers and schedule the tasks. A Timer is single threaded so you have to decide if that is good enough or not.

alright i got the timer working, but now im having problems with the graphics. I want it to alternate between drawing a rectangle and drawing an image. however it is only drawing the rectangle and not the image. i put print statements so i know its going into the method. when i comment out the rectangle, it draws the image. (for test purposes i set the rectangle and image to different locations)

I also tried making 2 different graphics objects on the same buffered image but its still not working.

g = (Graphics2D)image.getGraphics();

g2 = (Graphics2D)image.getGraphics();

timer = new Timer(3000, new ActionListener() {

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {

try {

g.setColor(new Color(image.getRGB(eye1X +(eye1Width/2), eye1Y + eye1Height + 3)));

g.fillRect(eye1X, eye1Y, eye1Width, eye1Height);

repaint();

System.out.println("3");

Thread.sleep(300);

}

catch (InterruptedException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

System.out.println("4");

g2.drawImage(eye1, 0, 0, null);

repaint();

timer.restart();

}

});

timer.start();
