I have a Nikon D80 and when I take pics in rooms with dark wood floors/walls the flash kicks down unless I set the flash low which is too low for the amount of light I need.

Do yourself and your subjects a favor and look at a Nikon SB600 or SB800. Those two add-on dedicated flashes give you the option of bounce flash off the ceiling, diffused lighting, and dialed down exposure, fully coupled to your camera.
I personally have a SB600 and don't leave home without it, even for daytime outdoor shooting. You never can tell when you might need some fill-flash to improve the shot.
I agree with the above - the built-in flash is for emergency use only and should never be relied upon for good photography.
I hope this helps you.

If only people would read their camera's Owner's Manual. Why they might learn how to actually use their cameras!
I'll join the Jim M and Antoni chorus of what the heck does "flash kicking down" mean?
Long before the days of "auto everything" cameras I took literally thousands of excellent flash exposures using a Minolta SRT-202 and a Vivitar 283 flash unit, with the Remote Sensor and the camera mounted on a bracket. I used bounce flash, direct flash and always had good exposures.
IMO using the built-in flash on a DSLR makes as much sense as a tuxedo on a pig.

"Kicks down" What the hell does that mean?
I can think of no reason why your D-40 would do that ... unless you've dialed in some kind of weird setting.
More info needed.
