store the file on the disk as exactly which file has dispatched the
event is not known.Please point out if my approach is incorrect or if

Try the following:
var imgURLs:Array = new Array();
imgURLs[0] = "http://www.adobe.com/ubi/globalnav/include/adobe-lq.png";
imgURLs[1] = "http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_adobe_air.png";
var urlRequests:Array = new Array();
var urlLoaders:Array = [];
for (var i:int = 0; i < imgURLs.length; i++)
    loadURL(i);
function loadURL(i:int):void
    var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(imgURLs[i]);
    urlRequests[i] = urlReq;
    var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(urlReq);
    urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
    urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,                
                function (event:Event):void
                    var path:String = urlReq.url;
                    var urlLoader:URLLoader = event.target as URLLoader;
                    saveFileData(path, urlLoader.data);
function saveFileData(path:String, data:ByteArray):void
    trace(path, data.bytesAvailable);
    // I'll let you write the code to save the data to a file path, based on the URL.
You could also create a class that includes the event handler function and includes the code for loading the data. Then create a new instance of that class for each URL.
