Pterodactyls and Pterodons are not dinosaurs, but pterosaurs, an order of reptiles all its own.
There are flying dinosaurs however; many scientists now agree that modern birds are, in fact, dinosaurs.

What is the fling dinosaur's name?
I may misunderstood the question, but dinosars do not fly. On the other hand, the first vertrebrate that did fly were the Pterosaurs from the late Triassic (which are not truly dinosaurs).
Do dinosaurs fly in day or night?
well dinosaurs don't fly only a certain type and those fly in the day and nightANS2:The term "dinosaur" applies to members of the superorder Dinosauria, (some include birds in this superorder). Pterosaurs (literally "Winged Lizard") are not included in this superorder. Now, to answer your question, dinosaurs did not fly. If you accept that birds are members of Dinosauria then, they did. Birds fly in the day and the night.
How did a dinosaur fly?
Dinosaurs evolved to be much like the modern day birds. They developed wings with feathers and eventually, by evolution, they flew.

Why could some dinosaurs fly?
Many people say that dinosaurs cannot fly and that it is Pterosaurs such as Pterodacktylus that can. But I know of one dinosaur that is actually a dinosaur that can fly. It's name is Microraptor gui. It appeared in an episode of Prehistoric Park. It was about the size of a modern day kestral. (I think)
What dinosaur flew?
Up until recently, it was believed that NO dinosaur ever flew. Pterosaurs such as Ramphorynchus and Pteranodon are commonly referred to as 'flying dinosaurs', but they are really fur-covered relatives that evolved slightly earlier. Either way, most animals that fit under the public interpretation of 'dinosaur' didn't fly.However, those are scientifically considered 'non-avian' dinosaurs. For about as long as we've known that there were dinosaurs, we've had evidence of bird-like dinosaurs or, even stranger, dinosaur-like birds. In fact, it's rare and almost improper to say that a bird isn't a type of dinosaur. We can take this logic to say that, after the cretaceous, all but a handful of dinosaurs learned to fly. (Excepting, of course, ostriches, penguins, kiwis, and the like.)
From what family are flies?

What are herbivorous dinosaurs?
