how do you make it that when you press a key , the mc you have grows until a certain scale

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {  
if (Key.isDown(38) & speed \>= 20 ){  
this.\_xscale += 20;  
this.\_yscale += 20;  
}  
}  
this is what i have what do i put so that it stops when it reaches a certain scale:toad:
