On one page of my Interactive PDF, I have a Video on the top right that is assigned a Hyperlink to open a YouTube video.
Below is an interacive Map with show/hide buttons for each area.
The Hyperlink works great if I click it first, but after using the Map Buttons, it's no longer active.
I've tried having a duplicate of this Hyperlink in a new top layer (pasting order), I've tried making it a "Button" to go directly to the URL and moved it to the top layer (Interative Tab Order), but none of these tricks seem to work. Any suggestions?

Video in a PDF is not going to work under the best of conditions and the rest of the interactivity is nothing but a crapshoot even in Acrobat. How are you actually viewing it? Most third-party PDF viewers are garbage.

It's just a Hyperlink to YouTube, so I'm not trying to play it within the PDF. But you gave me a good idea so I tried just a standard text "hyperlink" and that also doesn't work after you use the show/hide Map buttons :(.

Try InDesign's Publish Online facility (instead of PDF).

It does work corectly when I publish it online, however the client needs a PDF for distribution.

I think I found a work-around. If I manually create a Hyperlink in the PDF file (not InDesign) it fixes this glitch....Yay!

Regarding buttons in Interactive PDFs, you can have a word or words or an image (such as a button shape) as a document hyperlink to say another page in the document, or to an external website.
Some devices, for example, iPads, don't have rollover capability – only click – you should avoid multi-action buttons like On Click, On Roll Over, etc. Multi-state objects (MSO) don’t work at all in Interactive PDFs.

Thank you for that. These are all "click" only.
