Create emptymovieclip w/ array and width limits

Hey guys - quick questions:

1: I want to make a bunch of movie clips 295 pixels apart named “pic1, pic2, etc…” with an array only I don’t know how because I am basic newbie!

2: Can I have these clips extend past the limits of the maximum stage width of ~2880 if I do them with actionscript? Because I did do it manually but I was restricted so I am resorting to trying this!

thanks.
