I'm getting a divider wall with a slider pocket door to separate the living room from the hallway. I'm also removing the carpet to put down new hard floors. My question is should I do the flooring first and then have the wall built or build the wall first?

If you are closing up a Living Room with a 3' door and making the room unto itself only, I'd put the flooring in first. Reason being the next owner, or your changing tastes, will want to rip out the 6' wide opening and filling in the floor will not be necessary.
If the room retains a large opening, like with a double pocket door, then walls first.

Ordinarily I would build the wall first. In your case I would do the floor first so inside the door pocket you have flooring. Otherwise how can you get some in there? I notice things like that.
