I have a school project I am doing which requires interactive pdf pages
So far I have done the following but nothing has been working
Hyperlinks
Bookmarks
Buttons
I have tried setting destinations to files or urls of the files to be opened
I have been exporting as an interactive pdf but whenever I click the links the page will flash but remain on the same page
I have been doing trial and error with different methods including acrobat for 5+ hours and currently had little to no success at all
if anyone could help it would greatly appreciated and it would put my mind at ease

Which reader are you using?
(It's only safe to use Adobe Acrobat Reader, preferably the latest version.)

First, double- then triple-check that you chose Interactive (you probably did, but check.)
Second, solving one issue at a time, look at your Hyperlinks panel. Do you see green or red dots? Make the panel wider and post a screen shot.

Double-click your hyperlink to show the next screen. You can copy and paste into this window. What are you linking to?

Bookmarks
Your Bookmarks panel will be filled out automatically when you generate a Table of Contents. If you are not going to use it, throw it on the pasteboard and don't format it. You can also create Bookmarks manually.
If you create a Print PDF, you need to check that you want to include Bookmarks and Hyperlinks. It not automatic. But you said you are doing Interactive.
Show a screen shot of your Bookmarks panel.

Buttons
Paste a screenshot of your button and the Button panel. Make sure you are choosing an Action from Section 1 or Section 3. The middle section has a pale gray heading indicating SWF/EPUB only, and you are making a PDF.
Buttons also work in a Print PDF as well as Interactive.
