overlayer trouble

[Hoshimo]

I'm a giant newbie at rpgmaker and have started using overlayers and I'm really am sorry for posting a second trouble but I'm having trouble with my animated overlayers.
The script is as follows:

<>Show Picture: 1, Fog (160,120)
<>Show Picture: 2, Fog (-160,120)
<>Move Picture: 1, (480,120), 8.0 sec
<>Move Picture: 2, (480,120), 16.0 sec
<>Wait: 8.0 sec
<>

It's a simple script, but the problem is the second fog picture not appearing when there is a message, it does appear after the text is finished
and continues the loop, but I wanted to know if there is anyway around this annoyance or perhaps a better script for this type of overlayer, if so thank you in advance.

Dude, what's your map size?!?

BTW, using one pic reduces lag, or you could paste a:

<>Wait 0.0 secs

command into the code.
