I though slats were slightly different than flaps? Actually, I've just checked, and they're called "droops" on the A380.
Yeah there are 3 kind of forward "devices", Flaps, Slats and Drop or Droop. Quick Google of slats made it look similar to the A380 but didn't actually check the specifics of the A380.
