I might do something like: (warning, not tested, but in theory it should work)
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.counts = {}; // keep track of each individual movieclip's progress
listener.onLoadProgress = function(mc, loaded, total)
{
this.counts[mc] = loaded / total; // store the percent of each
movieclip's progress
var n = 0;
var sum = 0;
for(var i in this.counts) // loop through all the progresses, and
count them & sum them
{
n++;
sum+=this.counts[i];
}
var pcnt = sum / n; // find the average % complete
trace("Overall percentage: "+Math.round(pcnt * 100)+"%");
}
mcl.addListener(listener);
mcl.loadClip(url1, target1);
mcl.loadClip(url2, target2);
mcl.loadClip(url3, target3);
