Hello Januk,
Thanks for your helpful suggestions on several issues. This one got me to
trying some things.
The following gets rid of the n also.
Animate[ArrayPlot[CellularAutomaton[n, {{1}, 0}, {40, All}]],
{{n, 0, ""}, 0, 255, 1,
AppearanceElements -> None},
DisplayAllSteps -> True,
AnimationRate -> 5,
AnimationRepetitions -> 1]
When I saw the empty space in the Animate frame I thought I might like to
add a title as one can do with Manipulate (by inserting a String expression
before the control specification). But that is not allowed in Animate and so
is another difference.
If one wants to output an animation with no user controls and no Animate
frame one can use Animator instead. Wrapping it in a zero size Pane
suppresses its display.
Module[{p = 0},
Row[{
Pane[Animator[Dynamic[p], {0, 2 \[Pi]}], {0, 0}],
Dynamic@Plot[Sin[x + p], {x, 0, 2 \[Pi]}, ImageSize -> 300]}]

You can specify what all is shown for a given element being animated.
This probably isn't exactly what you want, but it gets close:
Animate[ArrayPlot[CellularAutomaton[n, {{1}, 0}, {40, All}]], {n, 0,
255, 1, AppearanceElements -> None}]
Hope that helps!
