What he is saying is that if you simply enable dataTips, Then Flex should show the value of the column's dataField property, but only if it is too long to fit in the cell.
However, If you are using a "dataTipFunction", you are responsible for showing/not Showing the dataTip. Are you seeing differently? And you are not using a dataTipFunction to build the dataTip?

So it seems the documentation is not correct regarding datatips. Please help me understand your statement, "Otherwise, it should require clipped text." --- Does this mean that if I used another function or property it would work as I want it to? How do I accomplish showing a tooltip/datatip-like feature only for cells with clipped text?
