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

  }

Should I put that code inside the button code or outside.

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.
