Narrative:
On the seavu arrival to lax we had runway 25R in the GPS. We were given runway 24R by approach control but did not change runways in the box in time and the aircraft tried to fly the runway 25R transition. When we realized what happened we selected a heading to get on the correct course and requested a heading from approach control. We continued with a visual approach and landing. There were no conflicts that we were aware of.supplemental information from acn 708213: descending via the seavu one arrival we were assigned runway 24R. We had runway 25R in the box when the plane began to turn toward krain I switched from navigation to heading select 275 degrees and asked for the proper runway to be entered in the box. The captain was too busy with radio calls to complete the process; however; and we began going through the localizer for runway 24R and he asked for and received radar vectors. No altitude deviations occurred; however; we may have deviated from the assigned flight path during the transition to raw data.

Title: AN MD80 ON THE SEAVU ARR TO LAX GOT A RWY CHANGE AND WAS UNABLE TO REPROGRAM THE FMS QUICKLY ENOUGH TO AVOID A TRACK DEV.
Narrative: ON THE SEAVU ARR TO LAX WE HAD RWY 25R IN THE GPS. WE WERE GIVEN RWY 24R BY APCH CTL BUT DID NOT CHANGE RWYS IN THE BOX IN TIME AND THE ACFT TRIED TO FLY THE RWY 25R TRANSITION. WHEN WE REALIZED WHAT HAPPENED WE SELECTED A HDG TO GET ON THE CORRECT COURSE AND REQUESTED A HDG FROM APCH CTL. WE CONTINUED WITH A VISUAL APCH AND LNDG. THERE WERE NO CONFLICTS THAT WE WERE AWARE OF.SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 708213: DSNDING VIA THE SEAVU ONE ARR WE WERE ASSIGNED RWY 24R. WE HAD RWY 25R IN THE BOX WHEN THE PLANE BEGAN TO TURN TOWARD KRAIN I SWITCHED FROM NAV TO HDG SELECT 275 DEGS AND ASKED FOR THE PROPER RWY TO BE ENTERED IN THE BOX. THE CAPT WAS TOO BUSY WITH RADIO CALLS TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS; HOWEVER; AND WE BEGAN GOING THROUGH THE LOC FOR RWY 24R AND HE ASKED FOR AND RECEIVED RADAR VECTORS. NO ALT DEVS OCCURRED; HOWEVER; WE MAY HAVE DEVIATED FROM THE ASSIGNED FLT PATH DURING THE TRANSITION TO RAW DATA.
