I would code it like this:

&overlay MOUTH1 opacity 1 THEN pause for 0.04 THEN overlay MOUTH1 opacity 0 and overlay MOUTH2 opacity 1 THEN pause for 0.04 THEN overlay MOUTH1 opacity 1 and overlay MOUTH2 opacity 0 THEN pause for 0.04 (and so on)

I just coded this on my story. Hope this helps!

And how do I code where I want the mouth to be?

By using the overlay shifting command. For example:

&overlay MOUTH1 shifts to x y in zone z and overlay MOUTH2 shifts to x y in zone z (Both overlays shifts to the same position)

To resize the overlay, code it like this:

&overlay MOUTH1 scales to x x and overlay MOUTH2 scales to x x (Both overlays scales to the same scale)

So if I were to code the overlays in place before changing the opacity (or anything else), I’d code it like this:

&overlay MOUTH1 create and overlay MOUTH1 shifts to x y in zone z and overlay MOUTH1 scales to x x and overlay MOUTH2 shifts to x y in zone z and overlay MOUTH2 scales to x x

Hope this helps!
