Setting up regular gestures to switch between windows by pressing Alt+Tab won't work very well: The problem is that this requires holding down the Alt key, but regular gestures have to release the key immediately. This is where advanced gestures come in: Now the modifiers associated to the last action will be held down until the gesture is over, i.e. until you release the gesture trigger button. As an example, let's set up easystroke to allow Alt+Tab switching by performing an "up"-stroke (without releasing the trigger button), followed by flicking the scroll wheel. Make sure that the "Ignore..." option described above is disabled. This time we need to add two actions, one for the up button (Button4) and one for the down (Button5). Set them up to be key actions, pressing Alt+Tab and Alt+Shift+Tab, and then record the two strokes. Not that you will have to perform the stroke for both mouse buttons, once followed by an up flick and once by a down flick, but when you're actually executing the action multiple times in a row, you only need to perform the stroke once.
