Narrative:
During descent on civet arrival at approximately 11000 ft; we were given clearance to join the ILS glideslope to runway 25R. This was a change from our planned landing on runway 24R. I attempted to update the approach in the FMS as a backup to navigation. We became rushed and got behind. In doing so; we inadvertently extended the slats at 300 KTS. We immediately retracted the slats at the sound of the slat overspd warning; and the captain slowed the aircraft. In the process; we also exceeded 250 below 10000 ft. Our assessment is that instead of focusing on basic aviation; we focused on the FMS and lost proper situational awareness.supplemental information from 726357: had we gone off autoplt and hand flown because we were trying to get rid of the autoplt chasing the localizer this wouldn't have happened.

Title: AN MD80 CREW EXCEEDED A FLAP EXTEND SPD AND MISSED AN ALT CONSTRAINT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REPROGRAM THE FMS FOLLOWING A CLOSE-IN RWY CHANGE ON THE LAX CIVET STAR.
Narrative: DURING DESCENT ON CIVET ARR AT APPROX 11000 FT; WE WERE GIVEN CLRNC TO JOIN THE ILS GLIDESLOPE TO RWY 25R. THIS WAS A CHANGE FROM OUR PLANNED LNDG ON RWY 24R. I ATTEMPTED TO UPDATE THE APCH IN THE FMS AS A BACKUP TO NAVIGATION. WE BECAME RUSHED AND GOT BEHIND. IN DOING SO; WE INADVERTENTLY EXTENDED THE SLATS AT 300 KTS. WE IMMEDIATELY RETRACTED THE SLATS AT THE SOUND OF THE SLAT OVERSPD WARNING; AND THE CAPT SLOWED THE ACFT. IN THE PROCESS; WE ALSO EXCEEDED 250 BELOW 10000 FT. OUR ASSESSMENT IS THAT INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON BASIC AVIATION; WE FOCUSED ON THE FMS AND LOST PROPER SITUATIONAL AWARENESS.SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM 726357: HAD WE GONE OFF AUTOPLT AND HAND FLOWN BECAUSE WE WERE TRYING TO GET RID OF THE AUTOPLT CHASING THE LOC THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED.
