Use a wind force object

1 load your flag

2 load the wind force (under the objects menu)

3 Position the wind force to the direction you want your wind blowing.

4 You'll need to increase the range. Unless the flag is for ants, the default range is way too short

5 You'll probably also want to increase the amplitude. That's the strength of the wind

6 go into the cloth room and create a new simulation and clothify the flag

7 set the flag to collide with the wind

8 set and constraints as discussed above.

9 run simulation

10 adjust the amplitude

Here is what I got with my wind settings. I didn't have a good flag so I used the high-res square and choreographed the corners to simulate it being stuck in a pole.

I did need to add more frames to the simulation. This one didn't start flying until about frame 50. I did 300 frames and this frame is 291. If you need more detailed instructions for setting up the cloth room, let me know and I'll post them later today.
