I would use this kind of code:


(* to put window 1 at top, window 2 at middle, window 3 at background *)
my click3windows(7, 8, 9)
(* to put window 1 at top, window 3 at middle, window 2 at background *)
my click3windows(7, 9, 8)
(* to put window 2 at top, window 3 at middle, window 1 at background *)
my click3windows(8, 9, 7)


on click3windows(wF, wM, wB)
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "TextEdit" to tell menu bar 1 to tell menu bar item 6 to tell menu 1
click menu item wB
click menu item wM
click menu item wF
end tell -- System Events
end tell -- TextEdit
end click3windows

Ok, this run fine but in fact, I would use an script with Safari Windows, and generaly, I have more than 10 or 20 windows open.
I would use this kind of script (swap foreground and background windows) for close all windows, except one. For this, I will send the windows I will keep open at the background, and then, I have juste to type command+W at keyboard for close all others windows, until arriving at the background window.
So your script can certainly be adapted for any number of open windows, but an algorithm whose will send the foreground window to background can be slow, no?
But, if no other solution exist, I will search an algorithm based on your script.
