Is there a way that I can have an animation playing while other brushes are being displayed one by one?
BTW: I'm using layers so using sprites is not an option.

Sure there is. You use
NextFrame() for that. See the doc for more info.

This is what I've got right now:
Code: Select all
Function p_Animation()
NextFrame(1)
EndFunction
SetInterval(1,p_Animation,30)
The problem is that the interval isn't being called until after the rest of the brushes have been displayed; and I'd like to have the animation playing while the other brushes are displayed with their own FX settings.

Oh, that's not possible then. All commands which display FX block the rest of the script. You can't do anything while effects are being rendered. Sorry.
