    Assign the textfield an instance name and use a condtional to test if the length property of the textfield is not zero.

     

      if(yourTextFieldName.length > 0){

            //  do whatever

      }

    Only you can answer that.  Put it wherever you need to check the textfield.  Ideally, if you are coding in the timeline, all code should be in the main timeline.
