If I'm understanding this correctly.... you have imported java.net.* into
MyApplet.class, which uses the TriPeaksPlayArea class? Either you need to
import the java.net.* package into TriPeaksPlayArea, or you could write a
wrapper function in MyApplet

public URL wrapperForGetDocumentBase(){
    return getDocumentBase();
}

which you can call from other classes in the same package/project. I don't
know of any reason not to just import java.net.* into any other classes
that need it, though (since it will be using up memory in the JVM
anyway...).
