ok, when I am approaching the runway, I have the left AP switch on and the other 2 AP switches come on automatically when I get closer to the runway. If i press the center AP button the left one will go off. And the aircraft will not flare.  The throttle idles back automatically, but it will not flare.  

It looks to me like you're trying to turn off Autoland during the landing procedure, which is fine if you want to practice an aborted landing or are trying to land yourself. But there is an apparent bug with this aircraft right now (see AP will not disengage), in that you may not be able to manually control the aircraft after disengaging the AP.
Also, as for landing speed, if you have set up the CDU properly, then on the Approach Ref page, it will give you the speed you should be flying for a given flap setting.
I don't recall if the aircraft will flare during autoland or not.
