So now I don't have Flash Player on my iMac, when I click on a document to open, I get "Plug-in Blocked" on a black screen. All help pages say allow that plug-in, but of course, nothing to allow since it isn't on my computer any more. Whats takes the place of flash player that is blocking my document?

Most browsers blocked Flash Player at or ahead of its demise, and Adobe disabled Flash Player.
Flash is dead.
Not unsupported-but-still-works-slightly-dead, but dead-dead.
And with many web browsers, dead-dead-blocked-by-the-browser-dead.
Dead-dead-does-not-work-cannot-render-blocked-permanently-disabled-dead-dead.
Contact the folks running the portal.
If the portal is still serving Flash content, they're probably aware and working on this.
And Flash was never available on iPad or iPhone. (You might try spoofing that identity, if you're using Safari. Enable the developer menu in Safari > Preferences > Advanced, then Developer > User Agent > select Safari 13.1.3 iPad or whatever Safari iPad is offered, and try reloading the portal page. That might get you an iPad page, which might not serve you Flash. Emphasis on might. That user agent spoofing may or may not work.)

Adobe announced the then-upcoming end of Flash Player back in 2017, ending support across all platforms including Mac and Windows, and the entire Flash product set was retired, and Flash Player was permanently disabled earlier this year.
What replaces Flash? That depends on the context.
Ask the folks maintaining a website with Flash dependencies, and that are undoubtedly now working on a migration.
If it's some sort of document that contains Flash, ask the author or the provider, and that Flash content will not be accessible until the document is updated.
Start with the following link for info directly from Adobe: https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html
It is possible a few web site still exist out there that haven't been updated to this era after Flash player. Nothing exists for those and the sites probably haven't been updated in many years. I have yet to encounter such a site.
i've read the eol, doesn't help with why I have blocked content. or how to determine what is blocking it. The website is a health portal and I am just trying to view a document
