you already asked this, and people already replied:

edit: well, one person replied (with the correct response) then a bunch of people made fun of you for typing all in caps... anyway, if you have AK, then there are 6 cards you want to see - 3 As and 3 Ks. The probability that the flop does _NOT_ have either of these cards is 44/50 * 43/49 * 42/48 = 0.676, so the probability that you flop at least one A or one K is 1-0.676 or 0.324 (32.4%). Throw in other ways to 'hit' the flop (flopping a 4-flush, flopping a straight or straight draw, etc), and this percent will go up, not down.
