How to call functions on protected ui objects?

Im currently getting two errors:

Lua Code:

AddOn 'Lybrial_ActionBars' tried to call the protected function 'SpellFlyout:SetFrameStrata()'.

And:

Lua Code:

AddOn 'Lybrial_UI' tried to call the protected function 'Lybrial_ActionBars_Pet_Frame:Show()'.
in function `FadeIn'

How can do either of those two things?

1. Call those functions anyway?
2. Prevent those functions from getting called when they are secured / protected?

For option two I thought checking for "IsForbidden()" would do the trick but I was wrong, meaning this here:

Lua Code:

if (not _G.SpellFlyout:IsForbidden()) then
    _G.SpellFlyout:SetFrameStrata("HIGH")
end

And this:

Lua Code:

if (not frame:IsForbidden()) then
    UIFrameFadeIn(frame, 0.2, frame:GetAlpha(), 1);
end

Did not fix the errors.

frame:IsForbidden() ≠ frame:IsProtected()

Forbidden frames means you can't interact with them at all. Protected frames just have limited access to a handful of functions while in combat. (see InCombatLockdown())

Thank you, that solved it.
