I would really appreciate any input or script that would allow me to make a dyamic textbox that will output the name of a a visible layer.

I'm making hundreds of figures based on the layer that is turned on, so if anyone knows how to make the figure # change in a seperate textbox according the the map that is being made (ie. 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2c, etc.)

Thanks for any help yall can offer me!

If you use Data Driven Pages, then you can have a field in your index layer that has the figure # in it matching each extent.  Then you insert a dynamic text box that uses that attribute field to fill in the text.  See http://support.esri.com/fr/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/40291
