can layer names be referenced and manipulated in the AS of a swf? i know they serve a great purpose when editing and debugging a fla file, but they can they be used beyond that? let's say, something like using _visible to toggle the visibility of entire layer.

no, layers only exist in the authoring environment. upon publication layers are used by flash to assign depths to your objects. depths can be controlled using actionscript, but not layers.
