How to make a transparent gif in gimp?

Every time I try to make a transparent gif animation every previous frame shows. I want to make a picture dissappear and then a different one (with the transparency in a different place) appear, but all the previous frames would be showing. How would I go about making an animation as such in gimp?

you can add transparency to layer with alpha channel, this allows you to erase and see through layer, then when you have set of layers, preview with filter>animation>playback

then you have to set with filter> animation> optimize difference /gif ~[creates new file]

then you have to type with name A(100ms) (replace) in each frame you want to replaced instead of combining or adding,

or when saving, use drop down menu for disposal >"I dont care" to "replace "
