Narrative:
Slowing from 210 KTS to 180 KTS called for flaps 2 degrees; then 5 degrees and noticed no flap indicator movement. Confirmed visually no leading edge devices either. Flap indicator was just off flap position '0' with a very small split between the 2 needles. Restore flap handle to 0; maintain 210 KTS. Told ATC we needed to delay to troubleshoot flaps. Went to irregular checklist. Decided to contact maintenance through dispatch before accomplishing checklist. Accomplished irregular checklists with maintenance/dispatch on the radio. Was able to get leading edge devices out; but no trailing edge. Final approach speed to be 168 KTS. Dispatch helped coordination emergency equipment to stand by. Briefed cabin crew of situation and prepared for evacuate/evacuation as a precaution. Passenger volunteered to help other passenger who needed help in event of evacuate/evacuation. Declared emergency with ATC and advised of approach speed. Normal landing and rollout with autobrakes 2 degrees; ground personnel reported no brake fire; kept passenger in seats. Exit the runway and come to stop to again have ground personnel inspect. Normal indications; taxi to gate. Passenger deplane via jetbridge at gate. Supplemental information from acn 686868: debriefing with the cabin crew; everyone felt the CRM and communication was very good between all parties; and in my opinion; the situation was handled very well. Everyone performed their jobs just as our training prepares us; which is a real testament to the quality of the company's training program in all areas.
