Narrative:
After level off at FL340; flap indicator flickered and clicking sound was heard over head. We called dispatch and maintenance and we were told it was ok to continue. After passing over a major airport; the le slat asym EICAS and le flap caution light illuminated and stayed on. At that time; there were no unusual handling characteristics; buffeting or rolling. Nearing our destination we notified ATC that we were declaring an emergency and needed to get lower and slower to complete the emergency checklist. Completed QRH for le slat asym and landed 25R.
