Dynamically instantiated movieclips doesn't have a directly accessible instance name unless you create one. You create one by assigning the reference to the movieclip to a property on its parent timeline (or anywhere really, but the parent timeline is most intuitive). E.g.--

var newPic = new lib.pic1();

root.emp.addChild(newPic);

root.emp.p37 = newPic;

By the way, the entire point of bracket notation is to perform variable interpolation. For pure string literals it's pointless and you should just use dot notation. Like this:

root.emp["p" + 1).bla bla bla
