How to download multiple files?

Question

I have an air app where a user can click a thumbnail and download that file to their download folder.
My question is how to go about allowing the user to select more than one and download them instead of one at a time.
Do i need to just put the download in a loop? Also My custom item renderer and stopped the tiles from looking like they are selected, how would i make them look selected?

try this
private function downloadFile(url:String):void{
            var urlStream:URLStream = new URLStream();
               var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
            downloadFileName=getDownloadFilename(url);
                  urlStream.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, writeFile);
                  urlStream.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR , function (e:IOErrorEvent):void{
                  urlStream.load(request);
            urlStream.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
     private function getDownloadFilename(URL:String):String{
            return(URL.substring(URL.lastIndexOf("/"),URL.length));
        private function onIOError (e:IOErrorEvent):void
            trace("An Error Occured and it looked like this.", e.text);
         private function writeFile(event:Event):void { 
             var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream(); 
             var file:File=//perfered filename with location              
            fileStream.open(file, FileMode.WRITE);     
             var dataBuffer:ByteArray = new ByteArray(); 
            event.target.readBytes(dataBuffer, 0, event.target.bytesAvailable); 
            fileStream.writeBytes(dataBuffer, 0, dataBuffer.length); 
             fileStream.close(); 
            event.target.close(); 
            downloadFile(NEXT_ONE);
