if i understand correctly you have some functions that don't return each frame to the main loop freezing it

you can use a kind of flag to keep track of the active function then jump each frame to this function until it's complete

for exemple when you have to jump to a function, set your flag to something

actualy your code may look iike that

mainloop
code
code
code
if condition:function1():endif
code
code
code
/mainloop

function1()
loop
code
code
code
/loop until condition
return

------------------

you can make it look like that
mainloop
code
code
code
if condition:flag=1:endif
select flag
case 1
function1()
end select
code
code
code
/mainloop

function1()
code
code
code
if condition
flag=0
endif
return

so the program still execute your main loop and jump every frame to your procedure until the same condition occurs ...

i admit that it's a difficult and looking weird way of code stuff :)
