For getting the column data tool tip you can use something like
<mx:DataGrid id="dgGrid1" dataProvider="{someDataProvider}" >
<mx:columns>
<mx:Array>
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="name"
headerText="Name"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn showDataTips="true"
editable="false" dataField="address" headerText="Address"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="company"
editable="false" headerText="Company"/>
</mx:Array>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
Note the second column will show the tool tip for the data. I would
however be eager to know how to get the tooltip for the header.
