Faulty transparency on illustrator brush stroke

Why a brush stroke's brushed edges are not transparent when importing to PS

[SEOdevhead]

I have created a vector graphic in Adobe Illustrator that uses a single brush stroke that has some rough brushed edges to the stroke. In between the miniscule brush strokes around the edge, it is transparent enough that it looks good when placed over any different color. In other words, in Illustrator, I can place the graphic in front of any colored background and it looks good.

However when I have imported the vector graphic (as a smart object) into Photoshop, it all looks great except the fine edges of that brush stroke is showing some "white edges" as if the fine transparency is not taking effect like it does in Illustrator. Any idea how I can get it to be fully transparent so these very detailed brush strokes allow the background colors to shine through? Thanks for your help.

Hi SEOdevhead

You could try one of these...

Have you tried flattening the transparency in Illustrator first?
Have you tried exporting it from Illustrator as PNG?
Have you tried opening the AI file directly in PS?
Have you tried cut and pasting it as pixels (not smart object)?

Just some immediate thoughts on how to possibly resolve this
