Since your question is very vague I will try to help and give you some pointers. I would recommend developing for the Kindle instead of trying to convert a fixed layout to a Mobi because you will get a messy output. One thing I dislike about Amazon is their inability to follow along with the industry standards when it comes to fixed layout ebooks. I would advise not using Kindle Comic Creater because it produces invalid code and is based on 2.0 and not 3.0 (that's last I checked on the update of the app several months ago). The GUI is simple enough but if you're going to sell ebooks you should always produce a quality valid product.

Some pointers when building for Amazon:

All images should be a background image #page1 { background-image: url("../images/page1.jpg"); }
When coding JSON do not multi-line the code it must be all on a single line.
Build a dummy sample when using script fonts because most will not render correctly or look terrible on the curves.
Always reference Amazon's documentation (Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines) the area you will find helpful starts on page 32.

This is a very broad question; I'll try to give you some general guidelines, but feel free to post more specific questions if anything in particular comes up while you're doing the conversion.

If you have an epub 3.0 fixed layout file, you should be able to run it through KindleGen and get a working mobi file. The Kindle Publishing Guidelines are pretty comprehensive as well, and should give you plenty of information if there are any particular stumbling blocks. If your fixed layout is a graphic novel, you might want to use the Kindle Comic Creator instead; it offers some interesting functionality specifically for content with panels.

If your epub is one of the old iBooks pre-epub 3.0 files, your first step will be to convert that into an epub 3.0 file and then go from there.
