Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but it is good to change the strings one at a time so you do not have the truss rod go out of whack on your axe!

With a Floyd equipped guitar it's best to change one string at a time. This prevents the bridge from flopping back and damaging your guitar, amongst other things. Check the link:Changing Strings on a Floyd

Now there are times when you need to pull off all the strings, for cleaning the neck for example, but this can be done safely by blocking both sides of the trem block...
