weird. 

I've set up the following and it doesn't appear to work:

<mx:DataGridColumn showDataTips="true" dataTipField="depstatus"   
headerRenderer="myHeaderRenderer" id="dptrsts" resizable="false" 
textAlign="center" fontWeight="bold" headerText="STS"  
width="{col1.width}" headerWordWrap="true" dataField="depstatus" 
labelFunction="departureStatusLabelFunction" 
sortCompareFunction="sortAlpha" itemRenderer="components.renderer"/>

and my dataGrid as follows:
<mx:DataGrid width="100%" height="90%" left="0" top="60" 
id="dgDelays"  verticalGridLines="false" horizontalGridLines="false" 
horizontalGridLineColor="white"  fontWeight="normal" fontSize="12" 
alternatingItemColors="[#000000,#000000]" color="#ffffff" 
headerColors="[#000000, #ffffff]" rowHeight="20"
                                   showDataTips="true" 
dataProvider="{delays_xml}" itemRollOver="itemRollOverEvent(event)" 
columns="{soc_cols}" textRollOverColor="black">
</mx:DataGrid>
                                


I even tried making with width of the column smaller than the 
displayed text, as I read where dataTips are only displayed 
for "clipped" text, and it made no difference.
