Create Empty Movie Clip in a Loop

I have an Array with image names in it.  I want to loop through the array and create empty movie clips and load an image into it.  I also want to do this in rows of 3.  RIght now I am just having trouble getting the images to load.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

CODE:

function placeImages() {

          trace("Place Images");

          trace(currentArray);

          startX = 110;

          startY = 86;

          xSpace = 63;

          xSpace = 50;

          row = 1;

          switch (currentArray)

                    {

                              case "regArray2":

                                        for (var x = 1; x < regArray2.length+1; x++) {

                                                  //trace("AddChild");

                                                  this.createEmptyMovieClip("picture"+x, 1000);

                                                  this["picture"+x]._x = 110;

                                                  this["picture"+x]._y = 86;

                                                  this["picture"+x]._xscale = 10;

                                                  this["picture"+x]._yscale = 10;

                                                  this["picture"+x].loadMovie(regArray2[x]);

                                        }

                                        break;

                    }

}
