I haven't used Wildfire, but in 2001, you need to assemble your parts using connections rather than the usual constraints. You will find this in the Component Placement window when you first assemble the parts. The first part in your assembly should be the base. All the subsequent moving parts should only have connections defining them. That should get you started.

Is there a book or tutorial dedicated to creating mechanisms?
