I don't know if Trogir have a modern flag - I am sure that it
would have a historical gonfanon or something.
I have found an image of the coat of arms of Trogir in a
newspapers ad (in which the city congratulates the statehood day
on 30 May 1998). In reconstruction of it I have made up the
colours to what I believe they might be, but be aware that the
original image was B/W.
If that would be the new coat of arms of Trogir, it is probable
that the flag is one-coloured with this coat of arms in the
middle.

The coat of arms of Trogir is: Azure, a Fort with a Bell-tower
Argent on the base barry wavy of the two; a Trailling Mullet Or
in canton and in the doors of the fort standing the patron-saint
of the city. The arms are probably modernization of some older
pattern. The flag is white with the coat of arms in the middle.
One should note that the colours of the coat of arms are my
reconstruction from description and the black and white colour in
the source below. The colouring of the patron saint is
specifically unconfirmed.

The symbols were designed by the Heraldic
Art d.o.o. from Rijeka.

There is a flag that I noticed in Trogir a few years ago. See
my photo of it at<www.hgzd.hr>.
The flag is ornamental and is probably manufactured before the
adoption of the current coat of arms and flag (that was around
1998?).
The photo shows the fortress Kamerlengo, taken by me in 2004.
I am not sure if the flag is still there, possibly not.

It is white verical gonfalon with rectangualr tails with a
square panel containing the elemets from the coat of arms - blue
with a white fortress issuing from the waves with four towers and
a belfry and city patron St. John Osorinus (St. John of Trau)
standing at the doors, and with a shooting star in chief dexter
and the coat of arms of the Republic of Croatia in sinister
chief. With the adoption of the official flag, this flag would
presumably be replaced, although it was still hoisted in 2004 at
the Kamerlengo castle when I took the photo of it.
These arms, as well as the current arms are stylistic
modernization of the old seal. Similar arms are shown in
Laszowski's "Grbovi Jugoslavije" (where he refers to
Lind's "Staedtewappen"), and in Strohl's
"Staedtewappen" 1904 (p. 85), where two seals from 14th
century are described having similar contents.
St. John Osorinus or St. John of Trau was the first bishop of
Trogir in 11th century, supporting the Croatian kings ruling the
hinterland, burried in the cathedral of St. Lawrence in Trogir.
His day is on 16 November.
