That's easy ... Measure your subject to see what f-stop you need/want, and adjust the shutterspeed for ambient.
Your flashlight only cares about f-stops (up to your shutter's highest sync speed which is mostly <= 1/250s). So if you take a picture with the highest syncspeed an lowest iso value using the f-stop you measured at your subject, the background will be at its darkest for that f-stop.
Want more light in the background ? Just make your shutterspeed lower and watch the lights come in
Of course this only works when you can overpower the ambient light, so your flash has to be powerfull enough (which shouldn't be a problem for indoor lighting)
Hope this helps.
