Tiling opened windows

Is it possible to have a script tile all open windows for you?  Basically the same as going to Window > Arrange > Tile.  Additionally, if it could float the windows would help a lot as well (rather than keeping them tabbed).

What you can do is make an action using Insert Menu Item and use the scriptlistner output. IE:

tileWindows();
 
function tileWindows() {
var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref4 = new ActionReference();
ref4.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Mn  '), charIDToTypeID('MnIt'), charIDToTypeID('Tile') );
desc4.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref4 );
executeAction( charIDToTypeID('slct'), desc4, DialogModes.NO );
};

That worked pretty well!  I don't get any output for the float option, but being able to put it into an action, I can just have it call that action when needed instead.  Thanks for the help Paul!
