Issue with importing dotted line sequence from illustrator

Hello, currently doing an animation project and am attempting to transfer over an artboard from Adobe Illustrator. I have no problem with any of the vector's except a series of dotted line sequences. If I drag and drop the svg into Animate, the lines remain vector's but are missing over half the dots. If I try to copy and paste, this also seems to happen. I messed around with the copy/paste options and at one point was able to paste the whole sequence, but there were still issues with it in that the dots became blurry. 

 

Any suggestions on what to do to resolve this is appreciated. Thanks for your help.

Hi.

 

Are the dotted line sequences actual strokes? Because if so you're gonna have to convert them to outlines. Illustrator has tons of very complex effects that are not supported by Animate.

 

Please let us know.
