HELP: "convert" created animated gifs flicker horribly

I have a directory full of numbered png files, all the same size. The convert command did create an animated gif:

Code: Select all

 convert *.png output.gif
However, it flickers horribly. It seems to be jumping back to the first image of the sequence and flashing it briefly all through the animation. I want the animation to simply show each image in succession. One would think that would be the default! Is there any way to eliminate this horrible flickering?

Are they numbered in the right order? If you didn't use leading zeros, they will be played in
order 1.png, 10.png, 11.png, ... 19.png, 2.png 20.png, 21.png, etc.
