When publishing to a .swf, does the amount of layers you use in the .fla increase the file size of the .swf?

Nope, additional layers are completely free in the swf format. All positioning tags have a number where to place stuff. The number is fixed size so any amount of layers have the same byte cost.

Each time someone abuses hittest, God kills a kitten. Please, learn real collision testing.
