you suck out all the fluid in the reservoir then refill with new, then
go to each wheel and bleed it out till you get new fluid coming out.

When you say "flush" do you mean drain the brake system completely (hope
that isn't what you mean), or do you mean suck out what one can from the
reservoir with a turkey baster and refill?

Old brake fluid or DOT 3 fluid more than a year old can cause what's
happened to you. Current approved fluids are DOT-4 rated. I use
Valvoline synthetic (NOT silicone) that exceeds both DOT 3 & 4 ratings.
There are other DOT 4 fluids available, but most of them cost more than
the Valvoline and their specs are no better. Some of the colored ones
can make flushing marginally easier.
