While some of the new features in Adobe Captivate 5.5 (such as the ability to free rotate and publish to Apple mobile devices) have gotten all the fanfare since Adobe released the new software, one new feature has sat on the sideline, overshadowed by the others: Shadow. But don't let this understated feature fool you… it's awesome.
Using the Shadow feature couldn't be easier. All you need to do is select or draw an object and then visit the Shadow group on the Properties panel.
By default, the shadow feature is disabled. Click the Enable check box and a shadow will instantly be added to the selected object. At this point, you can select from any one of nine shadow Presets.
Not happy with the appearance of the default shadows offered by the presets? No worries. You can change just about all of the shadow's properties including its color, angle and how far the shadow falls from the object (the Distance field shown in the image above).

Can anyone help me? I’m working in Captivate 5.5 (relatively new user). I’m trying to add a hyperlink to a URL through a “button” but when I click the button the button does not open a new window and load the url. Has this happened to anyone? What was the fix?

It’s most likely a local issue. Post the lesson to your web server and I’m betting the link will work as expected.
