Ok if your ft2 is the reflective animation of ft1 then do

ft1.setAutoReverse(true);
ft1.setCycleCount(1);
// Or
// ft1.setCycleCount(Timeline.INDEFINITE);
// to loop infinitely (blinking effect) until stop()

and you don't ft2. If you still need ft2 to play after ft1 then

ft1.setOnFinished(new EventHandler() {

    @Override
    public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
        ft2.play();
    }
});
