This is a silly question but is there a way that you can export a video from fcp into compressor and while its doing that, you can go on with editing...

Yes. First export a Quicktime Movie...reference or self contained...doesn't matter. This will not take long. Then take THAT into compressor and let it go...and you can continue editing.
You can also queue multiple items from FCP in compressor. Each item will get it's own tab in C. When you have all your FCP exports to compressor done, cut and paste them all into one tab in compressor and send the whole batch at once to be compressed. Not the most efficient in that you don't get to work in FCP while compressor works, but you still get the advantages of a direct export to compressor from FCP - and it's more efficient than sending a job from FCP and waiting for it to finish before you can edit the next thing.
