Use the Timer class as an inner class, with passing the time period. Check the specific condition, may be complete the move of an image, and stop the time. Something like this.

    public void moveImages(int time) {
        Timer timer = new Timer(time, new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                // Do the impage moving process
                // Then stop the timer
                ((Timer)e.getSource()).stop();
            }
        });
        timer.start();
    }

Please check the code before use, I've not tested it, simply typed here.

public MoveImage(){
Timer timer = new Timer(1000,this);
timer.start();
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
cursor.move();//here i want to give different speed to my cursor image.. how to do that.
image.move();
}

so from the above line i want to give different time to cursor using timer class alone... pls help me regarding this....

Did you read what I wrote in the cross-post?

As stated there: This will frustrate anyone who tries to help you only to find out later that the same answer was given hours ago in a cross-posted thread. For this reason, many volunteers here and at the other sites refuse to help repeat offenders.

It's up to you of course, since no one can stop you from doing it. But ask yourself this: "will I ever want to ask for help in either of these two forums again?" and then act according to what will be most beneficial to you in the future. Good luck.

I'm really wired with this Fubarable. Why people doing this. Why we spend our valuable for such things.
