You could also use the IMAQ ExtractSingleColorPlane VI to pull out each color plane, one at a time. This will require a creating a new memory location for each color plane that you want to extract.
I built a simple VI that does uses IMAQ ExtractSingleColorPlane as a sub VI to view the red and green components of the image. Take a look and see if this helps.

I don't have IMAQ, so I can't test the VI's you have, but if you do have a 2D array of RGB values, the attached JPEG shows how to split them into seperate 2D arrays of R, G, B values. Note this is the same as the Color to RGB VI listed by Gabi, but it allows you to seperate them while 2D arrays instead of using two for loops.
In response to your question of how to connect IMAQ Get Buffer.vi output terminal of "Image Out" to the input terminal "Image" of IMAQ ColorImageToArray.vi, you will see that when you try to connect these terminals, you are left with a broken wire. You can right-click on this wire and select "List Errors" to see why you are left with a broken wire. In this case, you'll find that you have connected an array of Image Out typedefs to a single Image typedef.
If you connect an array data type to its element data type, you can insert a For Loop and enable auto-indexing to connect the data.

Do you want to get a particular row or column of the 2D array out as a 1D array? Then use the index array function and wire a value to either the row input or column input to get either a particular row or column?
Do you want to reshape the array so that all the elements are converted from a 2D to 1D array? Then there is a Reshape Array function.
Since earlier replies talk about images, do you want the Flatten Pixmap on the Graphics & Sound / Graphics Formats palette?
