The first creature to fly during the age of the dinosaurs was a kind of hybrid reptile/bird called Archeopteryx. Most people think of the Pterodactyl as the "flying" dinosaur, but Pterodactyls did not fly - they glided. Flying means that the creature could lift itself into the air under it's own power - they could not do that. Jumping off from a high point, they could glide very well, though.
The "flying squirrel" of today is similar - it glides, it does not fly.

Pterosaur, meaning "winged lizard" (aka: pterodactyls), from the late Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous Period (220 to 65.5 million years ago).
Pterosaurs are the earliest vertebrates known to have evolved powered flight.
Archaeopteryx from the late Jurassic period (about 150 million years ago). This early bird could probably fly short distances.
Rhamphorhynchus was a Jurassic pterosaur.
Iberomesornis (From Spanish "Iberian" meaning "intermediate bird") was a small, early, toothed bird that lived during the early Cretaceous period. It was capable of sustained flight.

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.
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.)
