to use random use rand(number).
so x=rand(3);
this can make x equal 0, 1, or 2

If your game is topdown I would recomend using direction with directional velocity.
angle=rand(360);

what i want to do is have it so when a ball hits the player the ball goes in any direction just as long as it goes up how would i do that?

is the camera looking straight down? so the ball goes up towards the camera and a little off to the side?

So what I think you need is an extra animation of the ball getting bigger. So when the ball collides with the player the ball looks like it is rising towards the camera, then reverse that animation so it looks like it is falling back towards the ground. When it collides with the player you want a collision event that sets the directional_velocity, and angle.
directional_velocity=3;
angle=rand(360);

oooooops... I just realized I told you to set the direction is a previous post, but I should have told you to set the angle. Direction is read only. I will go back and edit my post.
